Sharjah motorists face temporary traffic changes due to the Al Taawun Tunnel development project, including partial closure of Al Taawun Roundabout and traffic diversions as construction progresses. The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA), in coordination with Sharjah Police, has implemented a comprehensive traffic management plan with alternative routes and exits for motorway users and residents. Drivers are advised to avoid travelling between 7am–9am (morning peak) and 4pm–7pm (evening peak). The authority recommends checking traffic updates before travel and using navigation apps, which are being continuously updated with current road closures and diversion information.
