Dubai is preparing to cut travel time significantly on Al Wasl Road through an ambitious expansion project announced by the Road and Transport Authority (RTA). The initiative will involve:
- Construction of five tunnels
- Addition of three new lanes in the Al Wasl and Umm Suqueim areas
Al Wasl Road, a vital 15 km corridor notorious for heavy traffic congestion, will see its capacity increased to 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions. This development aims to:
- Ease traffic congestion
- Accelerate commute times for drivers
- Enhance road safety with improved infrastructure
The RTA’s project supports Dubai’s broader mission to enhance its transport network, accommodating the rising number of vehicles and a growing population. Authorities anticipate that the expansion will halve travel time in the affected sections, offering considerable benefits to daily commuters and visitors alike.
This significant infrastructure upgrade forms part of Dubai’s commitment to creating a more efficient and sustainable transportation system.
