Overview
- Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said it has finished a road-connections program covering 13km across 18 residential areas.
- The works paved previously unpaved streets and added roadside parking, pavements, and street lighting to close missing links.
- RTA reports the changes improved access and traffic flow, with journey times in those areas falling by up to 40%.
- The project rolled out in phases to limit disruption, reaching areas such as Al Barsha, Jumeirah 1, Al Quoz 1 and 3, Mirdif, and Al Mizhar 1 and 2.
- Local coverage places the upgrades within a wider transport push, citing a state-reported Dh6 billion federal motorway plan called the Fourth Federal Corridor.
