Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a significant contract for the Al Fay Street Development Project, which aims to extend the street’s intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to Emirates Road. The project has a total value of AED 1.5 billion and includes the construction of five key intersections, along with 13,500 metres of bridges and 12,900 metres of new roadways.

Once completed, Al Fay Street is expected to handle a traffic flow of 64,400 vehicles per hour, facilitating access to various residential and developmental areas. The project is set to benefit an estimated population and visitor base of 600,000 individuals, enhancing connectivity in the region.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority, highlighted the project’s importance. He noted that it will serve multiple residential and developmental areas, including Dubai Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Production City, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tilal Al Ghaf, DAMAC Lagoons, The Oasis, and Remraam.

Al Tayer emphasized that the development will provide seamless and direct traffic flow along Al Khail Road towards Emirates Road, improve movement between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, and ensure safe mobility for all road users.
