Traffic diversions are coming into place on Friday near Dubai’s Discovery Gardens at the intersection of Ibn Battuta Street.
The detours will be there for the next three months for carrying out work related to Dubai Metro’s Route 2020 project.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will close the Discovery Gardens junction and transform it into an entry and exit point from the side road.
It will also turn Ibn Battuta Street into a one-way road in the direction of Al Asayel Street.
Additional entry and exit points will be provided to serve the community.
