Overview
- The Infrastructure and Housing Council, meeting Monday, confirmed a Dh6 billion, about 68km Fourth Federal Corridor with 6 to 8 lanes, 10 junctions and four flyovers.
- Officials also reviewed a 10‑route Bus Rapid Transit plan with bus‑only lanes and links to metro stations to speed trips between Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
- Authorities have not announced when construction will start or which emirates the new corridor will cross.
- The council examined federal studies to slow vehicle growth after Dubai’s car numbers rose more than 8 percent, with tighter ownership rules under consideration.
- The motorway and transit moves sit within a wider Dh170 billion five‑year program to widen key routes such as E11, E311 and E611 to raise capacity and cut travel times.
