In a move to bolster Dubai's road and transport network, H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Holding, witnessed the signing of a significant agreement between Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Holding.
The AED 6 billion agreement aims to improve urban mobility, support urban expansion, and enhance infrastructure across several key development areas in Dubai.
The agreement focuses on major communities such as Dubai Islands, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Palm Gateway, and Al Furjan, among others. It will contribute to the development of bridges, roads, and access points for five major Dubai Holding developments: Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Production City, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, and International City (Phase 3).
One key feature of the partnership is the construction of grade-separated interchanges at Jumeirah Village Circle, which will double the area’s capacity and reduce travel time by 70%. Additionally, new bridges and roads will improve access to Dubai Production City, reducing travel time by 50%, and upgrades in Business Bay will enhance pedestrian safety and traffic flow.
Further, Palm Jumeirah will see improvements with new acceleration lanes and pedestrian bridges to ensure safer and more efficient travel. The International City (Phase 3) entrance will also be upgraded, with a new lane and widened internal roads to reduce travel time by 67%.
H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum expressed his commitment to Dubai’s growth, stating,
“Through projects like these, we are reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for innovation and accessibility.”
Both RTA and Dubai Holding are working in close collaboration to deliver a sustainable, efficient transport network, benefiting residents, businesses, and visitors across the emirate.
