Motorist alert: 16 Dubai roads to be closed on Friday

Dubai - The cycle challenge will affect Dubai roads from 6am to 10am

Several roads across Dubai will be closed from 6am to 11am on Friday (December 15) as the 2017 edition of the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge gets underway.
Now its eighth year, organisers are expecting over 2,000 cyclists from all over the world to participate in the 92km cycle challenge taking place on Friday morning in and around the roads and communities of Dubai.

The motorists are urged to check the roads that will be affected by the race. With support from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Dubai Police, there will be rolling road closures from 6am.
The roads will be controlled by the Dubai Police and access will be intermittent, cars will be allowed to pass once the cyclists have made their way through. In order to minimise disruptions, roads will be opened if there is a build-up of traffic. Please check the areas listed on cyclechallenge.ae and allow extra time for your journey.
A spokesperson for the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge said: "We would like to thank all residents who will be affected by the road closures for their patience as we ensure the safety of all our competitors.
