Emirates Road Fully Reopens Today August 25th

A 14 km section of Emirates Road is set to fully reopen on August 25th, following a two-month phased repair project aimed at improving traffic flow between Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The reopening coincides with the start of the new school year, easing pressure on one of the UAE’s most heavily used corridors.

Inspections using laser-equipped and smoothness-scanning vehicles identified worn-out sections of the road, prompting resurfacing of both fast and slow lanes. Repairs were carried out in stages of 400 to 500 metres at a time to minimise disruption, with work scheduled during off-peak hours and weekends to keep traffic moving.

The upgrades were prompted by a dip in the Pavement Quality Index to 85%, with the restoration bringing standards back in line.
