Sharjah's Roads and Transport Authority has announced the temporary closure of a section of Al Shaheed Sultan bin Mohammed bin Huwaiden Street in Al Dhaid, starting November 7 and continuing for three months until February 7 next year. The closure is part of road development works intended to improve traffic flow and boost the overall efficiency of Sharjah's road network.
Authorities have asked motorists who normally use this stretch to follow the department's official channels for updates, as alternative routes will be rolled out gradually according to a traffic diversion plan. As of this report, no specific detour routes have been finalised, and drivers are urged to proceed with caution and follow posted signage in the area in the meantime.
Al Dhaid is one of Sharjah's fast-developing areas and has seen several infrastructure projects in recent years. Temporary closures of this kind are usually tied to resurfacing, lane expansion, or the installation of new lighting and safety systems, with traffic conditions typically improving once the work is complete.
Residents and anyone planning to travel through or to Al Dhaid are advised to check Sharjah's traffic apps and official notification channels before setting out, to avoid unexpected delays. A three-month closure on this scale is likely to affect the daily commuting patterns of a number of residents and local businesses in the area.
