The project is designed to optimise traffic flow, improve mobility for residents and visitors throughout the emirate, and support Dubai's ongoing urban development and population growth.
According to RTA, the project extends from the intersection of Al Qudra Street with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, continuing through Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, and reaching Emirates Road.
It encompasses the development of several interchanges, the construction of bridges totalling 2,700 metres, and the expansion of the existing street by 11.6 km.
The project is set to enhance the street's capacity and decrease travel time from 9.4 minutes to 2.8 minutes. It will also cater to residential and development areas, benefiting an estimated population of 400,000 residents and visitors.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, said: "Al Qudra Street Development Project is one of the major projects undertaken by RTA to enhance the vertical (East-West) road network. It extends from the intersection of Al Qudra Street with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, passing through Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, and continues up to Emirates Road."
"It serves several key development areas, including Arabian Ranches 1 and 2, Dubai Motor City, Dubai Studio City, Akoya, Mudon, DAMAC Hills, and The Sustainable City,"
