Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new tunnel on August 3, 2025, aimed at dramatically slashing traffic congestion and cutting drive times. This newly inaugurated tunnel is a key part of the strategic development plan to enhance the Umm Suqeim–Al Qudra corridor, which spans 16 kilometers, connecting Jumeirah Street to Emirates Road.
The tunnel is expected to reduce the typical drive time along this corridor to just 3.8 minutes, providing thousands of drivers with smoother and faster commutes every day. This initiative is a clear reflection of Dubai’s ongoing commitment to upgrading its infrastructure to meet the needs of its rapidly growing population and traffic demands.
City planners and officials have highlighted several key benefits of the new tunnel, including:
- Improved connectivity within the existing road network
- More efficient management of heavy traffic in the area
- Support for the rising number of vehicles traversing the corridor
- Enhanced overall road usage efficiency
This infrastructure development aligns with Dubai’s broader goals to advance its transportation systems and accommodate urban growth while ensuring safer and quicker travel options for both residents and visitors. The tunnel is expected to become a vital artery in the city’s transport network.
