Why is traffic between Dubai and Sharjah getting worse again?

Residents say congestion has noticeably increased in recent weeks, with peak-hour commutes on key routes like Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Al Ittihad Road returning to “mostly stop-and-go” conditions. Journeys that previously took 30–40 minutes are now stretching to over an hour, especially during morning rush hours. Motorists point to a mix of factors, including ongoing roadworks, lane diversions, and the return of full traffic volumes after a relatively smoother period. Bottlenecks around areas like Al Nahda, Oud Metha, and the Infinity Bridge are contributing to longer delays, with congestion spilling across multiple connecting roads rather than a single stretch. Are you experiencing longer commute times on this route lately, or have you found any alternative routes that save time?
