The project introduces direct access points to both arterial roads, serving the residential community of Nadd Hessa, as well as Dubai International Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Warsan 4.
The link between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street forms part of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)’s ongoing efforts to upgrade Dubai’s road infrastructure in line with urban expansion and population growth, while enhancing connectivity between residential, commercial, and service districts.
As part of the works, the existing roundabout at the Knowledge and Human Development Authority junction on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street was converted into a signalised intersection to improve traffic safety and flow. The project also included the construction of 2 km of dedicated cycling tracks to encourage healthier lifestyles and promote soft mobility options.
Traffic capacity on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street has increased by up to 40%, while travel time to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road has been reduced from 10 minutes to just 4 minutes — a 60% decrease.
According to the statement, these enhancements will ensure smoother traffic movement across the area and are expected to benefit more than 80,000 residents by 2030.
