All works on the Oud Maitha Road and Al Asayel Street Development Project have been completed according to Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
Billed as a key project, the RTA said that the project aims to strengthen the integration of Dubai’s road network, improve connectivity between major traffic corridors, and keep pace with the rapid urban and population growth in surrounding areas.
The project involved enhancing 4-major intersections, in addition to constructing 4-bridges and 2-tunnels spanning 4,300m, and 14km of roads. These works improve traffic flow, increase road capacity, and reduce journey time, the RTA said.
It serves numerous service, residential and development areas, most notably Za’abeel, Al Jaddaf, Oud Maitha and Umm Hurair, as well as several vital facilities, including Latifa Hospital and Al Wasl Club. The population of the areas served by the project is expected to exceed 420,000 by 2030, it added.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said, “The project represents an important addition to Dubai’s road network, given its key location and its role in strengthening connectivity between many corridors, residential and development areas, and service facilities. It also improves intersection efficiency, facilitates access to key destinations, and enhances traffic safety. The project reflects RTA’s approach to developing integrated and sustainable infrastructure solutions centred on anticipating future growth, supporting urban expansion, and improving the daily mobility experience of road users.”
“The project increases the capacity of Oud Maitha Street from 10,400 to 15,600 vehicles per hour in both directions, an increase of up to 50%, while reducing journey time from 20 minutes to 5-minutes, a 75% saving in time. This improves traffic flow and connectivity between Oud Maitha Road and Al Asayel Street and the surrounding road network,” he added.
The project upgraded 4-major intersections. At the intersection of Oud Maitha Road and Sheikh Rashid Road, works included adding a lane to the left-turn ramp serving traffic from Oud Maitha Road onto Sheikh Rashid Road towards Al Garhoud Bridge, raising capacity to 1,800 vehicles per hour, the RTA explained.
Works also included upgrading the service road on Sheikh Rashid Road between the existing bridge and Al Zahrawi Street exit to resolve existing traffic overlaps and improve safety for road users. The number of right-turn lanes carrying traffic from Sheikh Rashid Road onto Oud Maitha Road towards Dubai–Al Ain Road was increased from 2-to-3, raising capacity to 4,000 vehicles per hour. A tunnel was also constructed to connect the service road on Oud Maitha Road to Sheikh Rashid Road intersection, serving traffic heading towards Bur Dubai, the RTA concluded.
