UAE traffic alert: Sharjah-Dubai commute slowing as accidents hit E311, E611 and Ittihad Road

## Major Delays on E311 and E611

Commuters traveling from Sharjah to Dubai faced significant delays on Wednesday morning due to accidents on major routes. Traffic on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) was particularly slow, with congestion stretching from Muwaileh to Al Qusais Industrial Area. An accident near Industrial Area 15 exacerbated the situation, causing queues to extend past Safari Mall.

## Emirates Road Congestion

Emirates Road (E611) also experienced heavy traffic, especially on the Dubai-bound side between Hoshi and the Al Khawaneej and Al Awir junctions. The area around the Maliha Road interchange near Nasma Central Park saw the densest congestion, with slow-moving traffic extending for several kilometers.

## Ittihad Road and Airport Traffic

Ittihad Road (E11) was no exception, with dense traffic from Al Nahda through Al Qusais towards Deira. The stretch near Dubai International Airport was particularly slow, with heavy volumes near Sahara Centre and Ansar Mall. Travelers heading to the airport were advised to allow extra time.

## Sharjah and Dubai Traffic Conditions

Within Sharjah, delays were mainly around Al Ramtha and the Al Dhaid Road junction. In Dubai, Al Khail Road saw slow traffic near Al Barsha South due to an accident. However, Sheikh Zayed Road remained relatively clear, with only minor slowdowns near Business Bay.
