Rolling road closures in Dubai today for UAE Tour Women; commuters urged to plan routes

Rolling road closures in Dubai today for UAE Tour Women; commuters urged to plan routes
Motorists in Dubai face intermittent 10–15-minute road closures today as the UAE Tour Women’s second stage winds 145 km through the city and desert outskirts. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a detailed timetable covering Umm Suqeim, Hessa, Expo Road and Al Qudra, warning drivers to allow extra travel time between 12:30 pm and 4:30 pm.

While the race showcases the UAE’s rising profile in elite cycling, it also highlights the emirate’s well-rehearsed event-mobility protocols: rolling closures reopen immediately after the peloton passes, minimising disruption to business traffic and airport transfer routes. Shuttle operators servicing DXB and DWC report minor detours but no major delays.

Companies with field-sales teams or time-critical deliveries are advised to re-route via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road or schedule departures outside the closure window.

Event organisers have coordinated with Dubai Police and emergency services to ensure rapid response lanes remain clear, an approach praised by transport consultants who see it as a best-practice template ahead of Expo City’s 2028 logistics conference.

For mobility managers, the short-term inconvenience underlines the need for real-time traffic-alert subscriptions and flexible ground-transport contracts in a city that hosts more than 400 international events annually.
