Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has inaugurated a striking 45-meter mural-painted bridge alongside comprehensive mobility infrastructure in Al Quoz Creative Zone, marking a significant advancement in the area’s urban development strategy. The newly unveiled infrastructure package includes three integrated mobility hubs and 4 kilometers of dedicated tracks accommodating pedestrians, cyclists, and various soft mobility options.
The artistic bridge, featuring paneled mural paintings, measures 5.5 meters in width and stands 6 meters high, complemented by two 210-meter access ramps. This aesthetically designed structure aligns with the zone’s creative identity while serving practical transportation needs. The project enhances connectivity between Al Quoz Creative Zone, Onpassive Metro Station, and Al Quoz Bus Station, facilitating seamless multimodal transportation.
Coinciding with this infrastructure launch, selected streets will temporarily transform into pedestrian urban spaces during the Al Quoz Arts Festival on January 24-25. This temporary urban reconfiguration, organized by Alserkal Avenue in partnership with Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, demonstrates the area’s flexible urban design approach.
RTA officials emphasized that these developments support Dubai’s master plan for pedestrian pathway expansion and advance the 20-Minute City concept. Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Director-General, stated the project aims to reduce private vehicle dependence while promoting environmentally friendly transportation modes. The initiative contributes to creating a sustainable, low-carbon urban environment while potentially unlocking new economic opportunities.
Hala Badri, Director-General of Dubai Culture, highlighted how these mobility enhancements will strengthen the zone’s appeal as a cultural destination, supporting Dubai’s positioning as a global hub for creative industries. The integrated ecosystem supports all creative process stages from design to marketing while providing affordable live-work opportunities, further solidifying Al Quoz’s status as a year-round destination for cultural and recreational experiences.
