RTA to Open 500-Metre Bridge on Friday, Serving Traffic from Dubai World Trade Centre onto Al Mustaqbal Street
Summary
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority will open a 500-metre, two-lane bridge on Friday, August 14, connecting traffic from Dubai World Trade Centre and One Central to the intersection of Al Mustaqbal Street and Za’abeel Palace Street. The bridge is part of the AED 633 million Al Mustaqbal Street Development Project, which includes 2,000 metres of bridges and tunnels and widens Al Mustaqbal Street from three to four lanes in each direction. The new route will cut travel time from Dubai World Trade Centre from 10 minutes to 2 minutes during major events.
Why it matters
Drivers heading to or from Dubai World Trade Centre and One Central will see significantly faster travel times, especially during major events, and the road widening will ease congestion on Al Mustaqbal Street.
Dubai / UAE impact
Motorists in Dubai using Al Mustaqbal Street, Za’abeel Palace Street, and Financial Centre Street will benefit from reduced delays and improved traffic flow in the DIFC and Trade Centre areas.
