Sharjah motorists will face temporary traffic diversions at two key locations from June 13. According to authorities, these diversions are part of ongoing road infrastructure projects to improve traffic flow and enhance the road network’s efficiency across the emirate.
The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) announced a temporary partial closure of Al Taawun Street and a traffic diversion linked to the Al Taawun Tunnel Development Project at the site of the existing roundabout.
According to the diversion plan, vehicles travelling towards Dubai and the Al Nahda Bridge will be redirected via Al Corniche Street. Meanwhile, motorists coming from Al Nahda Bridge towards Sharjah will be diverted to the new Al Taawun Street using approved alternative routes.
