Dubai's transport authority has implemented major traffic diversions in one of the city's busiest areas as part of an ongoing Al Safa Street development project. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced the measures on social media, stating that diversions are necessary to maintain smooth traffic flow during the construction period.
The diversions involve both sides of Al Satwa Street and Al Multaqa Street, which intersect at the City Walk area. RTA officials explained that these temporary road adjustments have been put in place to ensure an unobstructed flow of vehicles and pedestrians while the project is underway.
Dubai recently launched a Dh2 billion initiative aimed at improving connectivity between the emirate's key roads and alleviating traffic congestion. This comprehensive project includes the extension of the Latifa bint Hamdan corridor, spanning 12 kilometers, which will connect several major thoroughfares in Dubai. The 12-kilometer project is set to be completed by the end of 2028 and features seven bridges, each measuring 2.3 kilometers in length, as well as eight tunnels that together span 900 meters.
Once finished, the corridor is expected to accommodate over 16,000 vehicles passing through in either direction per hour, significantly enhancing traffic flow in the region.
