The opening is part of Phase 4 of Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project, which spans 4.8 km along Sheikh Rashid Road, from its intersection with Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street to the Falcon Intersection on Al Mina Street.

This phase includes the construction of five bridges totaling 3.1 km, with a combined capacity of 19,400 vehicles per hour across all lanes.

Additionally, the project includes the development of 4.8 km of road, along with improvements to surface intersections on Jumeirah Street, Al Mina Street, and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street, and the construction of two pedestrian bridges — one on Sheikh Rashid Road and the other on Al Mina Street.
