The authority notified motorists of the road through Twitter.

‘E611’ has additionally been introduced to raise the capacity of the road, in order to improve the linkage and communication between urban communities in the emirates. This arterial connection enhances accessibility by offering a vital alternative route for motorists hailing from Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, and Sharjah en route to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The road stretches across 110 kilometres. This highway runs parallel to major roads such as E11 and E311 and serves as an alternative route to them.

The ministry added, “The works are part of an integrated project to improve the current intersection in the Al Barashi area, which will be completed before the end of this year.”
