Has anyone else heard this:

Below is the latest road closure for tomorrow from 6am – 5pm:

Al Khail Road closed
SZR closed from Salik to Salik
Jumeirah Beach Road closed from Al Thanya to Jumeirah Corporate office (far side of Madinat)
Al Wasl closed from Al Thanya to Dubai Police

Looks like nobody is going to work or school tomorrow

Source: Jumeriah Corporate Office - sure this cannot be true

Just got this as well. Thankfully I am working from home this week.

God bless George Dubya!

I had to read it twice.

Very good

Very funny major - this means the city will shut down and they are not telling the car driving public? Shall we catch the metro

I heard if you have an American Passport you will be able to make it to work in half the time tomorrow.

I think they're just trying to flush you out.

Surely this is unlikely (I have an email from the DIFC)

That the whole city will be shut down

I am guessing everything leading in and out of Zabeel will be shut down. It will be interesting to say the least

Last year there was a horrific bus crash on Sheikh Zayed Road on almost the exact spot of the Al Barsha toll gate. It pretty much paralysed Dubai for the whole morning... blocking traffic all the way back to Sharjah.

Believe it.

there's an intersec exhibition going on in trade centre.. will they reimburse our money and the guests flight tickets?

Just call in and say you need to welcome Uncle Bush by standing along SZR, waving the US flag.

I have friends who work in the middle of it and live in the middle of it.

Jumeirah 1 to Deira -> head down Beach Rd. take Shindagha tunnel and then sort yourself out from there.
