Traffic arrangements revised near Vinares 1 roundabout from Thursday

Traffic arrangements near the Vinares I roundabout in Hulhumale' Phase II will be temporarily altered due to road works in the area, police announced on Wednesday.

According to police, one lane near the roundabout will be closed from 8:00 am on Thursday to facilitate the work. The temporary traffic changes will remain in effect until the project is completed.

Police have apologized for any inconvenience caused to motorists and residents, and thanked the public for their cooperation during the works.
