Motorists travelling in Abu Dhabi will need to adjust their routes this weekend due to Temporary closures on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Road (E12)<\/strong>. The authority Abu Dhabi Mobility<\/strong> has announced a series of roadworks that will affect traffic heading towards Saadiyat Island<\/strong>, one of the strategic routes linking Yas Island to the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This work is part of a maintenance and modernisation programme aimed at improving safety and keeping traffic flowing smoothly. However, significant delays are expected, particularly in areas near Yas Island and Saadiyat<\/strong>, which account for a large proportion of residential and tourist traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The road closure will be carried out in two separate stages, in order to minimise disruption to motorists as much as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n During these periods, traffic will be restricted to minimum capacity, which is likely to cause delays and queues, particularly at peak times and when travelling to tourist areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The E12 is a major road linking Yas Island, Saadiyat Island and the centre of Abu Dhabi<\/strong>. The partial closure of the roads is likely to cause traffic jams in both directions, affecting journeys to residential areas, hotel complexes and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Motorists travelling towards Saadiyat will need to be patient, whilst those coming from Yas Island are advised to use alternative routes, particularly the secondary roads linking the Sheikh Khalifa Highway to other ring roads. Delays are expected to be more severe on Saturday mornings and late Sunday mornings, when traffic is at its heaviest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abu Dhabi Mobility advises drivers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This closure also presents an opportunity to test the new diversion routes put in place<\/strong>, which will be gradually incorporated into the capital\u2019s overall mobility plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These projects demonstrate the Abu Dhabi authorities\u2019 commitment to maintain high-quality road infrastructure<\/strong>, capable of coping with rapid urbanisation and ever-increasing traffic volumes. The E12 is one of the city\u2019s strategic transport corridors, serving both expanding residential areas, major tourist complexes such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and leading economic hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By implementing these planned closures, Abu Dhabi Mobility aims to minimise disruption whilst ensuring a regular upgrading of the road network<\/strong>. These measures ensure safer and smoother traffic flow in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The partial closure of the Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Road (E12)<\/strong> This weekend serves as a reminder of the importance of planning your journey in Abu Dhabi. With scheduled closures of the left-hand lanes followed by the right-hand lanes, motorists will need to be patient and plan alternative routes, particularly between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst these disruptions may cause temporary inconvenience, they form part of a wider strategy to improve the capital\u2019s infrastructure. In the long term, this work will help to make traffic flow more smoothly and safely, thereby enhancing residents\u2019 quality of life and the city\u2019s appeal to visitors.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Des travaux programm\u00e9s sur l\u2019E12 Les automobilistes circulant \u00e0 Abu Dhabi devront adapter leurs trajets ce week-end en raison de fermetures temporaires sur la Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Road (E12).
