The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new infrastructure project that will significantly reduce travel time in Al Warqa’a, Dubai, from 20 minutes to just 3.5 minutes. The project, part of a wider initiative under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aims to improve road networks and accommodate population growth.
By adding new entrance and exit points from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and upgrading eight kilometers of internal roads, the initiative will increase road capacity by 5,000 vehicles per hour. The enhancements are expected to serve over 350,000 residents and ease traffic congestion by cutting journey distances from 5.7 kilometers to 1.5 kilometers. The project is slated for completion within a year.
