Al Khail Road to Get 5 New Flyovers to Help Ease Traffic

Dubai has announced an AED 700 million project to reduce travel time on Al Khail Road by 30 percent. The Al Khail Road improvement initiative includes the construction of five new flyovers strategically positioned to alleviate traffic congestion along the highway.

Key Locations Targeted for Road Enhancements

The road improvement works will be conducted at various locations, such as Zabeel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair, Jumeirah Village Circle, Al Jaddaf, and Business Bay. The project, whose contract has been awarded, will enhance the overall road infrastructure and improve traffic flow in these areas.

Enhancing Capacity and Connectivity

According to Mattar Al Tayer, the Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), the improvement project aims to enhance the capacity of roads parallel to and supporting Sheikh Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, and Emirates roads. This strategic initiative aligns with Dubai's commitment to advancing its transportation infrastructure.
