Dubai Metro red line to be closed on Fridays, Saturdays
Dubai Metro
Dubai - Egypt Today
The Dubai Metro will be closed on Fridays and Saturdays starting this month.
"Constructional changes require a partial closure of the rail track of the Metro Red Line between Jumeirah Lakes Towers Station and Ibn Battuta Station during weekends (Fridays & Saturdays only) over 10 weeks starting from 28 July up to 14 October 2017," according to Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb, Director of Rail Operation, RTA's Rail Agency.
An alternative operational plan will be in place as Metro riders will be offered free shuttle bus service between the two stations.
The alternative plan for the said Metro partial closure encompasses the deployment of shuttle bus service to commute riders between JLT Metro Station and Ibn Battuta Metro Station. RTA had conducted intensive field studies, in collaboration with the contractor, to ensure that the alternative plan would be highly efficient in commuting riders between the two stations, given the intensive traffic movement over the weekends.
According to the plan, the contractor would upgrade the automatic operation system and add switches point to enable trains switch rail tracks and return at JLT and Ibn Battuta Metro Stations.
