Dubai Road Improvements Mapped: 4 Key Routes Upgraded

With Dubai always under construction, some roads are motorways with multiple lanes, clear signage, lighting and rest stops while others are still to be completed.

And now, four key roads in the city are better than before as they have been improved by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

The ongoing projects are yet to be finished but 72 percent of the construction on internal roads at Margham, Lehbab, Al Lisaili and Hatta is complete.

Paving on roads, streetlights and rainwater drainage systems are in the process of being added to the roads in the residential communities — with the updates being shared on a map posted on X, formerly Twitter, by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
