Road project to cut travel time between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road to be completed

A road improvement for Dh332 million, which will reduce travel time between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road by more than half will be completed. As part of the 4.6 km Umm Suqeim Street project, an 800-meter-long tunnel with four lanes in each direction will be built to improve the junction with Al Barsha South Street, which is close to Kings School.

When the project is finished, it will provide services to a number of residential and development regions, such as Dubai Hills, and Al Barsha South 1, 2, and 3, and these areas are home to an estimated two million people.

The plan was unveiled in compliance with the orders of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, to upgrade the road network's infrastructure to keep up with Dubai's steady expansion. The initiative was overseen by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in an effort to meet urban and demographic demands and guarantee efficient traffic flow.
