UAE traffic: Congestion in Sharjah as rush hour builds



Congestion is building towards Sharjah on the E11 in Deira as the morning rush begins to cause minor delays to journey times on Tuesday.

Slow moving traffic is also backing up along the E311 in the direction of Dubai International City near Muhaisnah, with drivers expected to take longer than usual to arrive at their destinations.

Most other major roads are running well and clear of major congestion, although slight delays are expected on the E11 in Abu Dhabi towards Mohammed bin Zayed City as traffic begins to accumulate.

Fast facts on Neil Armstrong’s personal life:

  • Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio
  • He earned his private pilot’s license when he was 16 – he could fly before he could drive
  • There was tragedy in his married life: Neil and Janet Armstrong’s daughter Karen died at the age of two in 1962 after suffering a brain tumour. She was the couple’s only daughter. Their two sons, Rick and Mark, consulted on the film
  • After Armstrong departed Nasa, he bought a farm in the town of Lebanon, Ohio, in 1971 – its airstrip allowed him to tap back into his love of flying
  • In 1994, Janet divorced Neil after 38 years of marriage. Two years earlier, Neil met Carol Knight, who became his second wife in 1994
