Abu Dhabi’s transport authorities have announced significant traffic modifications for one of the city’s major thoroughfares. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street (E10) will undergo a phased partial closure spanning 14 days, commencing December 9 and concluding December 22, 2025.
The closure will be implemented in two distinct phases to facilitate essential infrastructure works. During the initial phase from December 9-15, the three left lanes directing traffic toward Sheikh Zayed Bridge will be inaccessible to motorists. Following this, from December 15-22, attention will shift to the two right lanes on the same route, which will subsequently close.
This development marks the second such closure on this critical transport artery within recent months, following similar roadworks conducted between October 10-20. The Abu Dhabi Mobility agency has emphasized the necessity of these measures for ongoing urban development projects.
Transport officials strongly advise drivers to anticipate increased travel times and consider alternative routes during this period. The recommended detours include utilizing adjacent parallel roads and the comprehensive network of Abu Dhabi’s alternative bridges to circumvent the affected area.
The strategic timing of these closures aims to minimize disruption during off-peak hours where feasible, with certain restrictions implemented overnight. Commuters are encouraged to monitor real-time traffic updates through official channels for the latest routing information.
