In Al Qudra Road opened a new four-lane bridge to reduce traffic capacity at the Emirates Key Junction, as per the Roads and Transport Authority( RTA).
This project will result in a reduction in motorists’ waiting time by 85%, and the average delay time at the newly renovated roundabout will be reduced from seven minutes to one minute. The purpose of this project is to make it easy for people to move on Al Qudra Road due to the increasing road network in Dubai.
The newly opened structure forms part of a broader programme to improve traffic flow and increase the efficiency of major intersections across Dubai. The RTA has been expanding road capacity through new bridges, additional lanes and redesigned junctions to accommodate rising demand.
The Al Qudra Road development follows an earlier phase of the project that included a 600-metre bridge. That section increased junction capacity by 191 per cent and reduced waiting times by about half, according to the RTA.
The wider Al Qudra Road project includes several infrastructure improvements intended to separate traffic movements and reduce bottlenecks. Earlier plans for the development included a four-lane bridge and upgrades to surrounding intersections and road connections.
The latest opening comes as Dubai accelerates investment in its transport infrastructure. The emirate is undertaking several major road projects aimed at shortening journey times, improving connectivity between residential and commercial districts and preparing the network for future population and economic growth.
The RTA has also announced a separate $544 million road programme involving seven bridges and eight tunnels, with completion expected by the end of 2028. The investment forms part of Dubai’s longer-term strategy to improve mobility and ease congestion across major corridors.
For motorists using Al Qudra Road, the latest bridge is expected to provide faster passage through the upgraded junction while increasing the road network’s ability to handle growing traffic volumes.
