Major Road Diversion Permit Dubai – RTA Application and Implementation

Closing a major road in Dubai — whether for construction, maintenance, or a large event — requires a full diversion permit from the RTA with a comprehensive approved diversion plan. HMJ Contracting manages major road diversion permit applications in Dubai and physically implements approved diversions from start to finish. Call +971 50 778 9046.

What Qualifies as a Major Road Diversion in Dubai?

A major road diversion involves the temporary closure of an arterial road, dual carriageway, or primary distributor road where the diversion affects a significant volume of traffic. Examples include closing a section of Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, or a major interchange approach during construction. These diversions require more extensive planning, longer approval timelines, and more complex signage and equipment deployment than minor road closures.

Key Differences from Minor Road Diversions

• Higher traffic volumes requiring more robust advance warning over greater distances
• Multiple alternative routing options that must be assessed and compared
• Potential impact on other major roads that must be managed
• More complex TMA and crash cushion deployment at closure points
• Longer RTA review period — allow three or more weeks for approval
• Possible coordination with Dubai Police and other authorities
