Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed a series of road improvements on Al Marabea’ Street to increase capacity, reduce congestion and improve traffic flow in Al Quoz and surrounding areas.
The project involved expanding a 1.1-kilometre section of Al Marabea’ Street between the Al Khail Road exit and Al Asayel Street. The improvements have increased the road’s capacity by 30% and reduced journey times by up to 30% during peak hours.
As part of the works, RTA also expanded an intersection by adding a new traffic lane for vehicles travelling from Al Marabea’ Street towards Street 16A. The additional lane has helped reduce traffic congestion and vehicle queue lengths by 50%.
New lighting poles have also been installed along the upgraded section to improve visibility and enhance road safety at night.
Al Marabea’ Street is an important transport corridor in Al Quoz, connecting Al Khail Road with Al Asayel Street. It provides access to several industrial, commercial and residential areas while serving motorists travelling to and from Al Quoz, Meydan, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai.
The improvements form part of RTA’s wider efforts to introduce traffic solutions that respond to Dubai’s continued urban expansion and growing traffic volumes. The authority aims to improve connectivity, road safety and journey efficiency across the emirate.
Further upgrades are currently underway on Al Marabea’ Street. These include the construction of a new service road and a continuous pedestrian walkway serving the neighbouring industrial area. RTA is also developing a new access point at the beginning of the Al Khail Road exit towards Al Marabea’ Street to improve accessibility and safety.
The remaining improvement works are expected to be completed by the end of August 2026.
