Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the successful completion of six significant road network enhancement projects during January 2026 as part of its comprehensive infrastructure development strategy. These initiatives represent the latest phase in Dubai’s ongoing commitment to improving urban mobility and addressing the city’s growing transportation needs.
The completed projects feature substantial infrastructure upgrades across multiple districts, including the construction of new internal roads in Nad Al Sheba 1, Al Warqa 3, and Wadi Al Safa communities. In the Al Mizhar area, authorities have modernized a key roundabout and expanded parking facilities near GEMS Founders School to alleviate congestion during peak hours.
A major achievement includes the comprehensive traffic expansion along Al Warqa’a 1 Street, covering a 7-kilometer stretch in both directions between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Ras Al Khor Road. This project involved the conversion of four traditional roundabouts into intelligent signalized intersections, resulting in a documented 30% improvement in traffic flow efficiency.
Additional enhancements include the redevelopment of a critical roundabout in Mirdif to optimize traffic movement, lane expansion at the Oud Maitha Road and Sheikh Rashid Road intersection bridge toward Al Khail Road, and the creation of supplementary parking spaces around Dubai Heights Academy in Al Barsha South.
The RTA has implemented these projects using rapid construction techniques and smart traffic solutions, focusing particularly on improving access routes, exits, and internal road networks. These developments align with Dubai’s broader vision of creating a seamless transportation ecosystem that supports continued urban growth and enhances quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
