Motorists travelling between Sharjah and Dubai are facing heavy traffic on several key routes on Thursday morning, August 20, with E11 and E311 among the most congested roads during the rush hour. Google Maps traffic data shows a substantial queue on E11/Al Ittihad Road between Sharjah and Dubai, with particularly slow-moving traffic for motorists heading into Dubai from around Al Taawun and Sahara Centre towards Al Nahda. Drivers using E311/Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road are also encountering significant delays through Sharjah industrial areas and Muwaileh. Heavy congestion on E11 and E311 has been a recurring problem this month. A temporary diversion between Industrial Areas 12 and 13 remains in place until August 30 for maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. For commuters, allowing additional travel time and checking live navigation before setting off is advisable.
