On Sunday, June 9, 2024, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) inaugurated a significant bridge as part of the Garn Al Sabkha-Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road Intersection Improvement Project. Four bridges totaling 2,874 meters in length and 17,600 cars per hour of capacity will be built as part of this project. The recently finished two-lane bridge is 666 meters long and can accommodate 3,200 cars per hour. By dividing traffic from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to the service road that leads to the gates of Jumeirah Golf Estate and Dubai Production City, it helps to enhance traffic flow.

The Al Garn Al Sabkha-Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road Intersection Improvement Project has 90% completion rate, according to announcements made by Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA. “His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and the UAE’s vice president and prime minister, is ordering the project to be carried out. According to such guidelines, road infrastructure development must be completed in order to support population expansion and urbanization requirements while keeping up with Dubai’s continuous development,” he emphasized.

Al Tayer noted that the Chairman of the Executive Council and Crown Prince of Dubai, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, keeps a careful eye on the project’s development. In order to facilitate traffic between Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, First Al Khail Road, and Al Asayel Street, the project serves as a vital link between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.

“After the project is finished, it will take 12 minutes instead of 20 minutes to travel from Garn Al Sabkha Street to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road in the direction of Al Qusais and Deira, saving 40% of the trip time. Additionally, it would cut the travel time for drivers driving toward Jebel Ali Port from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road towards Al Yalayes Street by 70%, from 21 minutes to 7 minutes “said Al Tayer.

The second is a 601-meter-long, two-lane bridge. Its layout is to handle traffic coming from Garn Al Sabkha Street heading north toward Al Qusais and Deira, and eastward toward Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street. An estimated 3,200 vehicles can cross the bridge per hour.

The third span spans 664 meters and has two lanes. By removing Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road vehicles that are traveling north to Al Yalayes Street toward Jebel Ali Port, it allows for seamless traffic flow. An estimated 3,200 automobiles can pass through it in an hour.

The fourth bridge has two lanes and is 666 meters long. It opened on Sunday. An estimated 3,200 automobiles can pass through it in an hour.

Seven kilometers of road construction will be completed as part of the project, including surface intersection upgrades on the service road that runs parallel to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. It includes irrigation systems, stormwater drainage networks, traffic signals, lamps, and traffic systems.

The RTA’s master plan calls for the development of important east-west traffic corridors and arterial roads, such the newly finished Al Yalayes Street and Expo Street. One such road is the Garn Al Sabkha-Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road Intersection Improvement Project. These corridors service several development projects on both sides, facilitate present and future traffic volumes, and support Dubai’s transportation networks.
