Dubai‑Sharjah commuters face delays on E11 and E311 during peak hours
Google Maps data shows congestion on the main commuter routes between Dubai and Sharjah, with alternative roads offering limited relief.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Motorists travelling from Dubai towards Sharjah should expect slower journeys, particularly on the main commuter routes connecting the two emirates, Gulf News reported on October 8.
What happened
Live traffic information from Google Maps indicated that both E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) and E311 (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road) were experiencing significant congestion around the Dubai‑Sharjah border and on approaches into Sharjah. The traffic is expected to build further during the evening rush, affecting areas such as Al Nahda, Al Taawun and central Sharjah.
What the reports add
Within Sharjah, the secondary route E88 may also see delays, especially where it connects with the main north‑south roads. By contrast, the Emirates Road (E611) has generally been moving more freely, though conditions can vary and it may not be convenient for drivers heading to locations close to the border.
What was said
Gulf News advised drivers to check live navigation updates before setting off and to allow extra time for the journey.
