Residents heading to Sharjah from Dubai should expect some challenges along the way, as the rainy weather has impacted traffic and public transport.
Bus service between Dubai and Sharjah has been suspended, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced.
Bus route E315 will be temporarily unavailable as heavy rain continues to hit several parts of the country.
Traffic has also been diverted on a major highway between Dubai and Sharjah.
“Due to the accumulation of water on Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road in Sharjah, traffic will be diverted to Emirates Road via Tripoli Street,” the RTA said.
In Sharjah, all exit tunnels leading to main roads (Sharjah Maliha Road, Sharjah Al Dhaid and Khor Fakkan Road) were also closed due to accumulation of rainwater, police said.
With adverse weather conditions expected to peak today, residents are advised to stay home unless absolutely necessary.
