Dubai Holding and Roads and Transport Authority Agree on AED 6 Billion Project to Improve Transportation Infrastructure in Dubai

In a significant move to support Dubai's growth and development, the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Holding have joined forces to expand Dubai's transport network. The AED 6 billion agreement, advised by the law firm Pinsent Masons, aims to deliver a sustainable, efficient transport network in Dubai.

The improvements on Palm Jumeirah are intended to ensure safer and more efficient travel. The island will see enhancements with the addition of new acceleration lanes and pedestrian bridges. These upgrades are expected to have a significant impact on travel times, making it easier for residents, businesses, and visitors to navigate the popular tourist destination.

The upgrades to the transport network are not limited to Palm Jumeirah. The International City (Phase 3) entrance will also undergo an upgrade, with the addition of a new lane and widened internal roads. This upgrade is expected to reduce travel time by an impressive 67%.

H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, a key figure in Dubai's growth, has expressed his commitment to these developments. The specific focus of the upgrades is to create a more efficient transport system, benefiting not only those living and working in the area but also tourists visiting the emirate.

The collaboration between RTA and Dubai Holding is a testament to the shared vision of these organisations in creating a smart, sustainable, and efficient city. The upgrades are part of a larger effort to support Dubai's growth and development, ensuring that the emirate remains a global hub for tourism, business, and innovation.

As the city continues to grow and evolve, these transport upgrades are a crucial step in maintaining Dubai's reputation as a world-class destination. The improvements are set to make travel within the city smoother, safer, and more efficient, enhancing the overall experience for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
