Dubai RTA Announces Completion Of All Works On Al Jamayel Street Development Project

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has announced the completion of all works on the Al Jamayel Street Development Project (formerly known as Garn Al Sabkha). The significant project included the construction of four bridges spanning 2,874 metres, with a capacity of 17,600 vehicles per hour.

The project is part of the RTA’s master plan to develop strategic and arterial east-west road corridors, including Al Yalayis Street and Expo Road, which were completed in recent years. It is worth mentioning that the initiative also involved the development of roads extending over seven kilometres, improvements to surface intersections along the service road parallel to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, as well as the installation of street lighting, traffic signals, traffic management systems, a rainwater drainage network, and an irrigation system.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, said that Al Jamayel Street is a crucial corridor linking Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. “The project has reduced travel time by 40% for traffic from Al Jamayel Street to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road heading towards Al Qusais and Deira, cutting peak travel time from 20 minutes to 12 minutes," Mattar Al Tayer added.
