Dubai Police’s Transport Security Department announced, the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro statio will be closed at 10pm on New Year’s Eve.

According to the Director of Dubai Police Transport Security Department, Colonel Mohammad Ahmad Al Bastaki, a comprehensive safety and traffic plan has been put in place for managing public transportation, vehicles and pedestrians in the areas surrounding the New Year’s main events in Dubai.

Al Bastaki said the plans are a result of the ongoing coordination with the Roads and Transportation Authority and a number of organizations, creating extra parking spaces, include stepping up police patrols, closure of some roads and metro stations during the day and having more feeder buses shuttling round the clock.

The Danube, Financial Centre metro stations and World Trade Centre will continue to operate on New Year’s Eve, and people who attending the events should use them instead of the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station.
