This came as part of DMT's ongoing commitment to ensuring smooth traffic flow throughout the year, particularly at the beginning of a season packed with major events including the start of a new school year and the dozens of major conferences and events to be hosted over the coming weeks and months.

The DMT continues to carry out strategic projects as part of its comprehensive long-term development plan with a budget exceeding Dhs75 billion. This comes in line with the global standing achieved by the emirate, which is ranked as the most livable city in the Middle East and North Africa region, one of the safest cities in the world and one of the top ten smart cities worldwide.

RACING AGAINST TIME:

The projects already carried out and those to be completed in the coming period focus on developing infrastructure and enhancing the quality of services provided to citizens and residents because investing in infrastructure is an investment in the future.

The municipality is nowadays racing against time to complete many expansions and rehabilitate several streets including Sheikh Zayed Street, Saeed Bin Ahmed Al Otaiba Street and Abdul Rahman Makhlouf Street, as well as intersections on Al Falah Street and a number of branch streets.

This came in preparation for the new school year and the capital hosting of several events, most importantly Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition 2025 at the end of this month. The municipality completed maintenance and rehabilitation work on Sheikh Zayed Tunnel, a vital artery that contributed to smoothening traffic flow.
