- Parking in non-designated areas is strictly forbidden.

Due to ongoing construction works for the Jebel Ali Rail Terminal outside Jebel Ali Gate 1 and 2, we will be implementing traffic adjustments and road diversions starting 26 August 2024, for a period of approximately 18 months. These changes are to support the construction activities and maintain a smooth flow of traffic.

Key changes:

• Light Vehicle Entry

Entry to Gate 1 and 2 will be partially affected due to the closure of the bridge from Al Yalayis street. However, access from D57 (Al Yalayis street) and E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) towards Gate 1 and 2 will remain operational.

• Exit for Light Vehicles and Buses

The exit route for light vehicles and buses will be diverted through a new route outside Jebel Ali Gate 2.

• Heavy Truck Diversion – Exit

All heavy trucks currently exiting from Gate 1 and 2 will be diverted to Jebel Ali Gate 7, Gate 8, and South Zone Gates 10 and 11, to avoid congestion.

• Fuel Tankers for Refineries (ENOC/EPPCO & Emarat)

Fuel tankers to and from refineries will be redirected through Jebel Ali Cargo Gate 3. Please follow the indicated signage for this route.

• EGA Vehicles

Exit routes from Jafza Gate 1 to EGA facility will remain unaffected.
