Key Roads and Valet Services Closed

To make way for construction, key internal roads, exit ramps, and valet services are being redirected. Specifically, the Lower and Upper Financial Centre exit ramps have been closed, along with the Grand Drive Valet service.

So, what does this mean for you? If you're driving, you’ll need to rethink your usual route.

Where Is Traffic Being Rerouted?

For now, all traffic is being rerouted through Grand Drive and the Cinema Parking P3 zone. These detours are designed to ease congestion during the construction phase, but they may still cause some delays, especially during peak hours.

Grand Parking to Temporarily Close

More changes are coming in June. The mall has confirmed that Grand Parking will be temporarily shut down, with a revamped Grand Drive expected to reopen by August.

The Grand Drive, for those unfamiliar, sits between Dubai Mall and the scenic Water Terraces, offering a direct and picturesque access point.
