Dubai continues to upgrade its road infrastructure on a large scale. As part of the Sheikh Rashid Corridor transport corridor development project, two new bridges have been opened that will improve traffic between key areas of the city.

What will change after the bridges open

The new bridges connect:

• Al Asayel Street
• Al Wasl Club Street
• Al Khail Road
• Business Bay Crossing

This will help to redistribute traffic flows and reduce travel time between central regions.

Which districts benefit from the project

Infrastructure development directly improves the transport accessibility of the following areas:

• Zaabeel
• Al Jaddaf
• Oud Metha
• Umm Hurair
• Business Bay
• Al Karama
• Deira

Such projects traditionally increase the investment attractiveness of residential and commercial real estate in adjacent locations.

Project scope

The project includes:

• modernization of 4 major interchanges;
• construction of bridges and tunnels with a total length of 4.3 km;
• development of 14 km of road network.

At the moment, the project has been completed at 72%, and the remaining items are planned to be opened in third quarter of the year.

Why this is important for the real estate market

The development of transport infrastructure in Dubai usually leads to:

• increasing the liquidity of real estate;
• an increase in rental demand;
• increasing the cost of facilities;
• development of new residential projects.

This is especially noticeable in areas near Business Bay, Al Jaddaf et Oud Metha.

Conclusion

New bridges and upgrades to Sheikh Rashid Corridor are part of Dubai's long-term infrastructure development strategy. Improving transport accessibility enhances the attractiveness of the city's central districts and supports the further growth of the real estate market.
