Construction of five bridges was begun to reduce travel time by 80% in Dubai

RTA launched a new Project of Restating Traffic Flow from the Trade Centre Roundabout. The project started under the supervision of the Directives of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The estimated worth of the project was calculated to be Dhs696.414 million. This project includes the designing of five bridges over a stretch of 5,000 meters. It will change the Trade Centre Roundabout to handle heavy flows of vehicles.

The new bridges will let smoother traffic in double directions:
A 1,000-meter, two-lane bridge on Sheikh Zayed Road to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street. It will have a capacity of 3,000 vehicles per hour.

  • Two supplementary two-lane bridges spanning 2,000 meters on Sheikh Rashid Street up to 2nd of December Street. It will carry 6,000 vehicles per hour.
  • Two more two-lane bridges, over 2,000 meters, between Al Majles Street and 2nd of December Street. It will be capable of handling another 6,000 vehicles per hour.

These improvements will reduce delay times at the intersection from 12 minutes to 90 seconds. It will also reduce travel time from Sheikh Zayed Road to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street from six minutes to one.

The project also involves supporting iconic Dubai landmarks-the Dubai World Trade Centre, and Dubai International Financial Centre. It will also help the communities of Zabeel, Al Satwa, Karama, and Mankhool having 500,000 residents and visitors.

The Trade Centre project runs parallel with other road development plans. Recently, RTA also awarded a contract for the Oud Metha and Al Asayel Streets Development Project. It features new bridges and intersections.

This upgrade will reduce travel time by 75%. This project is very beneficial for a population of over 420,000 by 2030. Similarly, the currently underway Al Khail Road Development Project will include lane and intersection expansions cutting travel time by 30%. It will handle nearly 20,000 more vehicles per hour.
