One of Dubai’s most heavily used metro stations is set for a major expansion as authorities move to future-proof the city’s transport network.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Emaar Properties have signed an agreement to expand the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station, responding to sustained passenger demand and the emirate’s continued growth.

The project will increase the station’s total area from 6,700 square metres to 8,500 square metres, enhance station entrances and pedestrian bridges to facilitate smoother passenger access, expand concourse and platform areas, and add new escalators and lifts. The scope of work also includes separating entry gates from exit gates, increasing the number of fare gates, and expanding commercial areas to boost revenue generation.
