Dubai is set to undergo major road upgrades aimed at cutting travel time in key areas. Authorities have announced a massive AED6 billion ($1.6 billion) project that will enhance infrastructure in five major districts. The improvements will focus on Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai Production City, Business Bay, and International City (Phase 3). These upgrades will significantly reduce congestion and improve accessibility across the city.
Upgrades to Ease Traffic Flow
The city’s rapid population growth and booming tourism industry have put immense pressure on its roads. To tackle congestion, authorities will introduce new access points, additional lanes, and better intersections. These improvements will help ease daily commutes and enhance overall mobility.
Key Improvements in Major Areas
Jumeirah Village Circle will get four new access points, doubling the capacity for entry and exit. These changes will reduce travel time on internal roads by 70 percent. Residents and visitors can expect smoother traffic movement and shorter commutes.
Dubai Production City will benefit from new bridges connecting it to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. These additions will improve traffic flow by 50 percent, allowing vehicles to move more efficiently within the area.
Business Bay, one of Dubai’s busiest districts, will see major surface improvements at key intersections along Sheikh Zayed Road. These changes aim to reduce congestion and improve traffic circulation in the commercial hub.
Palm Jumeirah will also undergo upgrades, including six new acceleration and deceleration lanes. This initiative will enhance vehicle movement and reduce traffic bottlenecks by 40 percent. Additionally, two pedestrian bridges will be constructed to improve safety and accessibility.
International City (Phase 3) will receive an extra lane at the Manama Street entrance. Widened internal roads will further enhance traffic flow, cutting travel time from 15 minutes to just five minutes.
Enhancing Dubai’s Future Mobility
These infrastructure improvements mark a major step in reducing congestion and travel time. Authorities remain committed to enhancing road networks to support the city’s rapid growth. With these upgrades, residents and visitors can look forward to smoother, more efficient travel experiences.
