RTA Announced that Floating bridge will be closed from Thursday 10 pm till Saturday, 6 am.
Engineer Maitha bin Adai, CEO of RTA’s Traffic & Roads Agency, said, “The extended duration of the Floating Bridge closure will be matched by a corresponding extension of the free SALIK crossing over Al Maktoum Bridge.”
“The decision has been taken in the light of specialist and comprehensive traffic studies, which revealed that Al Maktoum Bridge, Al Garhoud Bridge and Al Shandagha Tunnel are capable of accommodating the traffic movement in the area on Fridays where it is significantly less,” noted Maitha.
