June 04, 2025

In line with the directives of the wise leadership to accelerate the development of infrastructure projects and enhance the capacity of Dubai's road network, thereby improving traffic flow and keeping pace with the emirate's comprehensive development, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced an integrated project to upgrade Al Wasl Road.

The initiative also aims to address urban expansion, accommodate population growth, and enhance the quality of life for both residents and visitors.

The development spans 15 km, from the intersection with Umm Suqeim Street to the junction with 2nd December Street. It includes the upgrade of six intersections, comprising enhancements to one junction and the construction of five tunnels totalling 3,850 metres.

The street will be widened from two to three lanes in each direction. The project is expected to reduce travel time along Al Wasl Road by 50% and increase capacity from 8,000 to 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions.
