|November 22, 2025
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, has approved the Architectural Identity for Dubai's road projects, developed to enrich the architectural character of urban elements across the emirate's integrated network of roads, corridors, and streets.
-
The initiative aligns with Dubai's vision to build an integrated and sustainable city that enhances the experience of both residents and visitors.
Sheikh Hamdan also reviewed the progress of the Trade Centre Roundabout and Al Mustaqbal Street improvement projects, which entail the construction of seven bridges and three tunnels spanning 6,500 metres, costing Dhs1.3 billion.
Serving seven key residential and development areas, including Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Emirates Towers, Museum of the Future, and Downtown Dubai, the projects are expected to benefit over one million residents and visitors and reduce travel time by 75 percent.
Sheikh Hamdan also reviewed the Dubai Tunnels initiative, which aims to transform urban infrastructure into cultural and artistic landmarks, through collaboration with a number of local artists to design murals for several tunnels on Dubai's roads.
