The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has announced more than 10 new traffic diversions to support the ongoing construction of the Dubai Metro Blue Line. These measures aim to ensure smooth traffic flow while enhancing the city’s public transport network. The Blue Line, a significant addition to Dubai’s metro system, will connect key districts, improve quality of life, and reduce reliance on private vehicles. Since the project’s inception, 11 diversions have already been implemented, with more planned in the coming months. Recent changes include the closure of the entrance from Ras Al Khor Road into International City 1 and a major diversion at Centrepoint Metro Station. The Blue Line extends in two directions: one spanning 21 km with 10 stations from Creek Interchange Station to Dubai Academic City, and another covering 9 km with four stations from Centrepoint Interchange Station to International City (1). The project also includes the construction of a depot and maintenance facility in Al Ruwayyah 3. To keep residents informed, the RTA has launched a public awareness strategy, providing regular updates through media channels and community gatherings. The authority has also conducted detailed field surveys to engage with affected communities. Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the RTA, highlighted the project’s economic benefits, estimating savings of over Dh56.5 billion by 2040 due to reduced travel time, fuel consumption, and accident-related fatalities. Additionally, the Blue Line is expected to boost property values by up to 25% around metro stations and reduce traffic congestion by 20% along its corridors. A McKinsey & Company study commissioned by the RTA revealed that neighborhoods linked to Dubai’s transport network, such as Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, have already seen property price increases of up to 16%, underscoring the transformative impact of infrastructure projects.
