Dubai’s Al Khail Road development infrastructure continues to evolve with the recent opening of two new bridges. This development is part of a larger project by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) aimed at enhancing traffic flow and reducing congestion across the city.
The Al Khail Road Development Project, currently 80% complete, is one of the RTA’s most significant undertakings. The project includes the construction of five new bridges, with the latest openings located at Zaa’beel and Al Quoz 1. These bridges are crucial to improving connectivity and easing traffic in key areas of Dubai.

The two newly opened bridges are designed to accommodate a combined total of 8,000 vehicles per hour. This increased capacity is expected to significantly alleviate traffic bottlenecks, particularly in the direction of Jebel Ali. The bridges will also play a vital role in enhancing access to business hubs and residential areas, reducing the travel time for commuters and logistics operators alike.
One of the primary objectives of the Al Khail Road project is to reduce travel time by approximately 30%. By increasing road capacity and improving traffic management at critical intersections, the RTA aims to provide a smoother and more efficient driving experience for residents and visitors. The new bridges are expected to ease congestion during peak hours, leading to less traffic buildup and shorter travel times.

The remaining three bridges in the project are slated for completion by October. Once fully operational, these bridges will further enhance the overall capacity of Al Khail Road, ensuring that Dubai’s infrastructure can keep pace with the city’s rapid growth. The project reflects the RTA’s commitment to creating a world-class transportation network that supports Dubai’s vision of becoming a global hub for business and tourism.
The opening of the new bridges on Al Khail Road is a significant step forward in Dubai’s ongoing efforts to improve its infrastructure. As the project nears completion, residents and businesses can look forward to smoother traffic flow, reduced travel times, and enhanced connectivity across the city.
