Abu Dhabi traffic watch: closures affecting August 6-9
Three E11 lane restrictions in Al Dhafra run through Saturday, August 8, while a right-lane closure on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street continues through the full Thursday-Sunday window.
What overlaps August 6-9
Three AD Mobility notices keep lane restrictions active on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Road (E11) in the Al Dhafra Region through Saturday, August 8: two affect traffic towards Ghuweifat and one affects traffic towards Abu Dhabi. 123
A separate right-lane closure on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street in Abu Dhabi runs from Tuesday, August 4, at 12:00 a.m. until Sunday, August 30, at 6:00 a.m., so it covers the full Thursday-Sunday window. 4
All dates below are Abu Dhabi local dates.
| Area | Official notice | Active during August 6-9 | Practical watchpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Dhafra Region, E11 | Two left lanes towards Ghuweifat are closed. AD Mobility notice | August 6-8 | Westbound traffic towards Ghuweifat has fewer lanes. Allow extra time and follow the signs at the work zone; the notice does not specify an alternative route. |
| Al Dhafra Region, E11 | Left lane towards Abu Dhabi is closed. AD Mobility notice | August 6-8 | Abu Dhabi-bound traffic loses one lane. Expect a slower approach and use the open lanes indicated on site. |
| Al Dhafra Region, E11 | Right lane towards Ghuweifat is closed. AD Mobility notice | August 6-8 | Treat the Ghuweifat direction as constrained: this is a separate right-lane restriction from the two-left-lanes notice above. The notice does not specify an alternative route. |
| Abu Dhabi, Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street | Right lane is closed. AD Mobility notice | August 6-9, continuing to August 30 at 6:00 a.m. | Plan a slower trip along the affected street and follow temporary traffic directions. |
Abu Dhabi Police cross-check
As of Tuesday morning, the Abu Dhabi Police post that overlaps this window is a retweet of the Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street closure, rather than a separate Police road restriction. 5 The original AD Mobility notice is the source for the closure dates and lane detail. 4
For the weekend, the clearest risk is reduced lane capacity: three E11 restrictions remain active through Saturday, while the Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street closure continues throughout Sunday. The official notices do not publish replacement routes, so avoid relying on an old route plan and follow the temporary signs when you reach each work zone.
