Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) recently completed a major road development project on Oud Maitha Road, cutting travel time from 20 minutes to just five minutes, a 75% reduction in journey time. The project, finished on September 20, also increased the road's capacity by 50%, boosting vehicle flow from 10,400 to 15,600 per hour in both directions.
This improvement, spanning 4.3 kilometers of roads, four major intersections, four bridges, and two tunnels, is set to support growing traffic demand in Za'abeel, Al Jaddaf, Oud Maitha, and Umm Hurair. The population in these areas is projected to surpass 420,000 by 2030. RTA Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, Mattar Al Tayer, stated that the project strengthens connections between major road corridors and enhances access to residential, development, and service areas.
