Al Salam Street lane to be closed from October 5

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City announced the closure of the right traffic lane on Al Salam Street in both inbound and outbound Abu Dhabi directions for a period of three weeks. This will be implemented from Tuesday, October 5 to facilitate road works in the area near Khalifa Park.

The municipality continues to encourage motorists to adhere to speed limits and obey all traffic laws. Motorists can take alternative routes such as Muroor Road and Rashed bin Saeed (Airport) Road.

The mega infrastructure project is part of the municipality's strategic aim to meet the requirements of a developing city, as well as respond to the needs of the growing population. It includes upgrading the existing road to an urban expressway with a network of roads and tunnels that will lead to a smooth free-flow facility of an estimated capacity of 6,000 vehicles per hour on each direction.

Upon completion of Al Salam Street project, motorists will be able to travel through Al Salam Street without any traffic signals from Sheikh Zayed Bridge until Mina Zayed.

Al Salam Street Project is a result of the cooperation between the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, Urban Planning Council, Department of Transport and the General Command of Abu Dhabi Police. The project falls under the initiative of the municipality to contribute to the development of the city and to establish Abu Dhabi's position as a truly modern metropolis on par with the best in the world.
