RTA’s Al Qudra Street Project to ease Dubai traffic
Following the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched an AED 798 million project to renovate Al Qudra Street, aiming to enhance Dubai’s infrastructure.
The project starts from the intersection of Al Qudra Street with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, continues through Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, and ends at Emirates Road. It involves constructing bridges totalling 2,700 metres and extending the road by 11.6 kilometres.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), stated, “The project will reduce travel times from 9.4 minutes to 2.8 minutes throughout the emirate and support Dubai’s growing population of approximately 400,000 residents and visitors. The project will increase the street’s capacity from 6,600 vehicles per hour to 19,200 vehicles per hour and serve several key development areas, including Arabian Ranches 1 and 2, Dubai Motor City, Dubai Studio City, Akoya, Mudon, DAMAC Hills, and The Sustainable City.”
The project will enhance the intersection of Al Qudra Street and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street by constructing a 700-metre bridge with seven lanes in both directions and an additional 500-metre bridge from Al Qudra Street to Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, towards Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, to ease traffic flow.
This initiative aims to improve Dubai’s infrastructure by meeting the demands of the growing population.
