Fourth national highway under Dh170B-project to tackle rising traffic
Khaleej Times
|November 06, 2025
The UAE is examining the construction of a fourth federal highway stretching 120km with 12 lanes and capacity for up to 360,000 trips per day, as part of a Dh170-billion national roads and transport investment programme announced on Wednesday.
The road package, which is set to be implemented by 2030, was revealed during remarks by Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Al Mazrouei at the UAE Government Annual Meetings in Abu Dhabi.
The proposed corridor, if approved, would become the country’s fourth pan-emirate highway, joining three existing major federal routes —the E11 (Al Ittihad), E311 (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed) and E611 (Emirates Road) — that together serve more than 850,000 vehicles commuting between Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
