Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened a crucial new bridge linking Jumeirah Street to Al Mina Street, enhancing direct access to the Infinity Bridge.
The 985-metre bridge, featuring two lanes and a capacity of 3,200 vehicles per hour, is part of Phase 4 of the Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project.
Spanning 4.8 kilometres, Phase 4 stretches from the intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street to the Falcon Intersection on Al Mina Street. The new bridge plays a vital role in improving traffic flow along this busy corridor.
By enabling uninterrupted traffic movement and eliminating the need to stop at signals, the bridge slashes travel time from Jumeirah Street to Infinity Bridge by 67%—from 12 minutes to just 4 minutes.
The wider Phase 4 works also include five additional bridges totalling 3.1 kilometres, designed to handle 19,400 vehicles per hour, and major road upgrades along Jumeirah Street, Al Mina Street, and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Street. Two pedestrian bridges are also planned to improve safety and accessibility.
RTA reaffirmed its commitment to aligning with Dubai’s leadership vision by addressing the city’s growing urban and traffic demands through infrastructure that supports smoother mobility.
Looking ahead, another key milestone is set for Q2 2025: the completion of a 780-metre, three-lane bridge connecting Infinity Bridge to Al Wasl Street via Al Mina Street. This upcoming structure will accommodate up to 4,800 vehicles per hour, further enhancing Dubai’s road network efficiency.
