Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed all phases of the Al Khail Road Development Project, which includes the construction of five new bridges and the widening of roads over a 6,820-meter stretch. The project is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion across the city.
The improvements were made across seven key areas along Al Khail Road, including Al Jaddaf, Business Bay, Zabeel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair, and Jumeirah Village Circle.

As a crucial part of Dubai’s strategic infrastructure initiatives, the Al Khail Road project aims to enhance key parallel corridors that support major highways like Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and Emirates Road. Al Khail Road itself is a vital artery that connects Business Bay Crossing to its junction with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, featuring five lanes in each direction, with some sections expanding to six lanes.
The project benefits approximately 1.5 million people, resulting in a 30% reduction in travel time. It also increases the capacity of intersections and bridges to handle up to 19,600 vehicles per hour. With these improvements, the flow of traffic along Al Khail Road has been greatly enhanced, eliminating bottlenecks at interchanges and ensuring smoother, uninterrupted commutes.
