The project included paving two kilometres of internal roads, installing road markings, creating parking spaces, and adding 50 lighting units

The project also involves widening an existing bridge from two lanes to three for traffic travelling from Al Khail Road towards Oud Maitha Street

By the end of Q4, Parkin’s total parking portfolio had expanded to approximately 229,000 spaces, an 11 per cent increase compared to a year earlier

The programme is designed to enhance road network efficiency, streamline traffic flow and elevate safety standards in response to urban expansion

The move comes to advance the road infrastructure network in line with sustained development across residential and commercial corridors

According to RTA data, the commercial transport industry now contributes more than Dhs8.4bn ($2.29bn) annually to Dubai’s economy

The corridor extends from its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, passing through Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street

The project will covers 24 kilometres in Dubai, with a total cost of nearly Dhs2.5bn

Event organisers have advised overseas visitors and residents unfamiliar with the area to use taxis to reach the start line

From unveiling new metro corridors to easing bottlenecks at intersections, Dubai’s strategy reflects a long-term effort to future-proof mobility
