Why is Sharjah closing roads near Maliha Street and Sharjah Ring Road?

The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority says the closure, starting August 15, is part of Phase Two of the Etihad Rail Project, which will connect all UAE emirates — and even extend to neighbouring Gulf countries — by 2026. With two stations already confirmed, the rail network is expected to boost connectivity and investment between Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah. Do you think these short-term closures are worth the long-term benefits of faster, seamless travel?
