Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a series of road and traffic upgrades across 40 key locations in the city, set to be completed between June and September 2025.
The works aim to ease congestion, improve safety, and support growing demand in both residential and development zones.
Major streets and zones
The planned upgrades will affect 22 major roads, 9 school zones, and several internal roads in areas including Tolerance District, Al Khawaneej 2, and Nad Al Sheba. Key roads such as Jumeirah Village Circle towards Hessa Street, Ras Al Khor Road, Al Thanya Street, and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street will undergo traffic enhancements.
Further improvements are planned for Al Meydan Street, Al Sa’ada Street, Al Asayel Street, and Al Wasl Street near Al Manara junction.
Focus on school safety
To ease traffic during school hours, the RTA is working on road improvements at nine school zones. These include an additional bus entrance at GEMS School in Al Warqa 3, upgraded access at The English College in Al Safa 1, and a signalised pedestrian crossing on Al Seedaf Street in Al Barsha 1.
In response to Dubai’s growing population and development pace, traffic upgrades are also being carried out in five key development areas. Projects include a new direct route to Al Muhaisnah labour camps from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and improved access in Brookfield and Nad Al Hamar near Lootah Mosque. A new parking facility will be built for the Zayed Educational Complex in Oud Al Muteena 1.
Internal roads and walkways
Internal road improvements are underway in Jebel Ali Industrial 1, Al Warqa, Al Khawaneej 2, Nad Al Sheba, and Tolerance District. Pedestrian walkways will also be added in the Al Quoz Creative Zone to enhance pedestrian safety.
These works are scheduled during summer holidays to reduce traffic disruption and ensure safety at all project sites, according to RTA.
