Yas Marina Circuit is accessible from 3 routes, with a fourth to follow late in 2010. Yas Island, and Yas Marina Circuit, can be reached from Abu Dhabi via both the E12 (Sheikh Khaliafa Road) across Saadiyat Island and the E10 (Sheikh Rashid Road) from central Abu Dhabi via the south of the island. If taking the E10 route, you can access either via Airport Rd or Salam St in Abu Dhabi and take the exits for Dubai. Yas Marina Circuit can be reached from Dubai by taking the Dubai - Abu Dhabi Road and exiting for Yas Island. The circuit can be specifically reached by taking the 'Yas East' Exit on the highways for the North Entrance and the 'Yas West' exit for the Main Entrance. A fourth link via a tunnel from Al Raha beach will be opened in late 2010.
