Sharjah partially reopens road near Etihad Rail station through November 2026

Sharjah has partially reopened traffic between University City and the Exhibition Grounds as work advances on roads providing access to the Etihad Rail station. Two lanes are now available in each direction, beginning at Industrial Area 17 and continuing through University Bridge. A traffic diversion towards Maliha Road remains in place, while alternative routes have been provided for motorists travelling to businesses and services surrounding the construction zone. The arrangements took effect on October 6 and are scheduled to remain in place until November 29, 2026. The project is designed to develop the road network serving the Etihad Rail station and improve links between the station and surrounding districts, while increasing capacity and efficiency of nearby roads in preparation for rail traffic.
