With this milestone, RTA has completed all phases of Al Shindagha Corridor Development Project in Bur Dubai, ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow from Al Garhoud Bridge towards Port Rashid, via Infinity Bridge, and onward to the Waterfront Market, and vice versa.

The completed phases have reduced travel time along the corridor from 80 minutes to just 12 minutes.

Traffic now moves seamlessly from Jumeirah Street to Infinity Bridge in just five minutes.

Similarly, the trip from Infinity Bridge towards Al Mina Street and onto Al Wasl Road at its intersection with 2nd December Street now takes five minutes.

The RTA is also progressing with Al Khaleej Street Tunnel project, which extends from the end of Infinity Bridge ramp in Deira to the intersection of Al Khaleej Street and Cairo Street.

The 1,650-metre tunnel will have three lanes in each direction. In parallel, the RTA has commenced construction of entry and exit points for Dubai Islands in the area between Infinity Bridge and Port Rashid redevelopment area.
