The scope of this project extends from the junction of Al Safa Street with Sheikh Zayed Road to the junction with Al Wasl Street, spanning 1,500 metres. It is designed to keep pace with Dubai's comprehensive urban growth, accommodate the increasing population and urban expansion, and elevate the quality of life for both residents and visitors.

The project involves the construction of two bridges and two tunnels with a combined length of 3,120 metres, along with the widening of surface roads and upgrades to intersections and traffic signal systems.

Once complete, the travel time on Al Safa Street will reduce from 12 minutes to just 3 minutes, and the street's capacity will double from 6,000 to 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority, stated, "Al Safa Street Improvement Project is part of RTA's master plan to enhance the road network in the area, which also includes the development of Umm Suqeim and Al Wasl Streets."
