Earlier traffic bans announced
Earlier, the authority confirmed that heavy vehicles would be banned on Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Road (E11) and Al Raha Beach Road (E10) starting 1 December.
Trucks are also restricted from using Al Rawdah Road in Mussafah (E30) during peak hours — from the bridges complex to the truck bridge in both directions.
Part of wider congestion plan
The ITC said these measures are part of a wider traffic management plan to reduce pressure on high-density corridors, enhance safety, and improve overall network efficiency. Traffic will be rerouted via the ICAD Bridge to prevent interference with light vehicles and maintain smoother flow.
