The corridor extends from its intersection with Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road, passing through Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road, and continuing along Al Qudra Road.

The newly completed bridge improves traffic flow on Al Qudra Road and the connecting road between Arabian Ranches and Dubai Studio City, increases capacity by 1918, from 6,600 vehicles per hour to 19,200 vehicles per hour, and reduces waiting time at the junction by 55%, cutting delays from 113 seconds to 52 seconds.

RTA will open the northern (left side) bridge on Feb.15 at the intersection of Al Qudra Road and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street.

The 700-metre bridge provides two lanes in each direction, pending completion of works on the southern (right-side) bridge. The structure will serve traffic along Al Qudra Road towards Al Qudra City and in the direction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
