Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a public notice regarding the temporary closure of the popular Al Qudra cycling track. The closure is scheduled for Sunday, January 25th, 2026, to accommodate the Women’s Race segment of the 10th edition of the Al Salam Cycling Championship 2025-2026.
The suspension of access will be enforced from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM, precisely aligning with the scheduled start time and expected duration of the competitive event. The RTA has confirmed that the facility will resume normal operations immediately following the conclusion of the championship activities.
This infrastructure management decision highlights the city’s ongoing commitment to hosting major international sporting events while balancing the needs of recreational users. The Al Qudra track, a premier destination for cycling enthusiasts in the region, will provide the backdrop for this significant women’s sporting competition, now in its tenth iteration.
The temporary disruption is implemented to ensure maximum safety for both professional athletes participating in the championship and the general public. Authorities recommend that regular users of the track plan their activities accordingly and seek alternative routes or timing for their cycling exercises during this period.
