Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded 2-contracts for the Al Meydan Street Development Project, which is said to be one of the RTA’s key strategic projects to enhance Dubai’s main road network. The contracts are said to be worth US $316mn.
According to the RTA, the scale of the project meant that the works had to be divided into 2-contracts to accelerate delivery, realise traffic and development benefits, strengthen the road network’s readiness to accommodate future growth, and support urban development and development projects across the emirate.
The project includes the development of several key intersections along Al Meydan Street through the construction of 3,700m of bridges and 17km of roads, in addition to cycling tracks that will enhance connectivity with the existing cycling network. The project will serve a number of residential and development areas with a combined population of more than 500,000 and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2028, the RTA explained.
The project aligns with the directives of Dubai’s leadership to continue developing and enhancing the efficiency of the city’s road infrastructure to keep pace with the emirate’s rapid urban and economic growth, while improving traffic flow and quality of life, it added.
“The RTA continues to deliver strategic projects to develop Dubai’s road network, guided by the leadership’s vision, which regards investment in infrastructure as a fundamental pillar of comprehensive development, enhancing Dubai’s competitiveness and reinforcing its position as a leading global city in which to live, work and invest,” said His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at the Roads and Transport Authority.
He added, “The RTA follows a proactive approach to planning and delivery, focused on developing an integrated and highly efficient road network that keeps pace with urban, population and economic growth and delivers high levels of traffic flow and mobility flexibility. This contributes positively to quality of life and supports the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and Dubai Economic Agenda D33.”
“Al Meydan Street is one of Dubai’s key strategic corridors, running parallel to and supporting Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. The project will strengthen connectivity across the main road network, provide alternative routes that improve traffic distribution, enhance traffic flow, and increase mobility efficiency between key areas. It will also raise the capacity of north–south traffic corridors by 18% and reduce travel time from Al Manama Street and Dubai–Al Ain Road to Umm Suqeim Street from 30 minutes to 10 minutes, an improvement of 66%. The project will also support the emirate’s rapid urban growth,” he continued.
The Al Meydan Street Development Project extends from its intersection with First Al Khail Street to Umm Suqeim Street, passing through several key roads, including Al Khail Road, Latifa bint Hamdan Street and Al Marabea’ Street. The project also includes the development of Al Marabea’ Street up to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, the RTA explained.
