Abu Dhabi's Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street will be partially closed at the weekend to allow for maintenance and safety upgrades, transport chiefs have announced.

The Integrated Transport Centre said on social media that the right-side lane of the route and the entrance to Khalifa City would be shut to traffic from 10pm on Friday until 3pm on Sunday.

The stretch of road is part of the E20 motorway, heading towards Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Motorists have been advised to plan trips accordingly and use alternative routes.

Specific details of the road works were not disclosed.

They have been scheduled for the weekend period to minimise disruption for commuters.

The ITC urged all drivers to exercise caution during this period and adhere to safety and traffic rules.
