RTA Project Will Help Motorists Save Dh45 Billion, Reduce Travel Time From 104 To 16 Minutes By 2030

After completion of the Al-Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project, travel time will drastically reduce from 104 minutes to just 16 minutes by 2030 for motorists travelling around Deira and Bur Dubai.

Moreover, one million people will benefit from the project and have about Dh45 billion in savings over two decades. On Sunday, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Dubai, awarded a Dh800 million contract for Phase 4 of the Al-Shindagha Corridor.

Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of RTA, said “it is one of the largest projects currently being undertaken, with an estimated cost of Dh5.3 billion. The project encompasses the construction of 15 intersections spanning 13 km in total. Due to its massive scope, the project had been split into five phases. The Corridor serves Deira and Bur Dubai in addition to several development projects such as Deira Islands, Dubai Seafront, Dubai Maritime City and Port Rashid.”

“Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project, which spans 13km along Sheikh Rashid Road, Al Mina Road, Al Khaleej Street, and Cairo Street, contributes to a smooth traffic flow along the Corridor. It will also enhance roads capacity, efficiency, and traffic safety,” said Al Tayer.

The Roads and Transport Authority is working on numerous other development projects and has made significant progress in the construction works of the Falcon Interchange Improvement Project, which includes the construction of two bridges along Al Khaleej Street.

RTA’s project will truly benefit everyone by reducing travel time and traffic problems by the year 2030. We can’t wait to witness that!
