DUBAI // Drivers should expect delays on Jumeirah Beach Road from Friday as diversions are put in place as construction of bridges over the Dubai Water Canal begins.
Southbound traffic near Jumeirah Beach Park will be worst affected over the weekend.
There will still be three lanes in each direction and northbound traffic will face diversions from Sunday.
Work is already under way on bridges on Al Wasl Road.
Nazim Faisal, director of RTA’s Roads, Traffic and Roads Agency, said: “The lanes will be fitted with all traffic safety means such as light signals, street lights, illuminated cautionary signs and concrete barriers.”
