The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) has officially announced the temporary closure of Ali Bin Abi Talib Street, a vital thoroughfare in Khorfakkan. The affected section stretches from Hayawa Square to Literary Council Square, located within the Al Bardi 4 area. This closure is part of a broader initiative focused on road maintenance and infrastructure upgrade projects designed to enhance the overall road network, improve traffic flow, and significantly boost road safety standards for all motorists in the region.
Closure Timeline and Traffic Management
According to the SRTA, the closure officially commenced on Monday, August 24, and is scheduled to remain in effect until Saturday, August 29. The specific segment of Ali Bin Abi Talib Street undergoing these improvements has been clearly marked in red on the official project map provided by the authority. All maintenance activities are strictly following the comprehensive schedule approved by the relevant governmental bodies to ensure the work is completed efficiently and within the designated timeframe.
Alternative Routes and Driver Guidance
- The SRTA has implemented a traffic diversion strategy utilizing internal roads within the Al Bardi 4 neighbourhood to maintain consistent vehicle flow and ensure residents and visitors retain access to their destinations.
- Alternative routes, which are highlighted in green on the project map, have been established to allow drivers to bypass the construction zone while navigating to connecting streets.
- Motorists are strongly urged to strictly comply with all directional signage and traffic signals installed throughout the area to ensure a smooth transition during the construction period.

By following these established guidelines, the SRTA aims to guarantee a safe and orderly flow of traffic while the necessary infrastructure enhancements are finalized. The authority emphasizes that cooperation from the public is essential for the successful and timely completion of these vital road improvements in Khorfakkan.
