First phase of Abu Dhabi's Dh2.8bn Mid-Island Parkway set for completion in 2027

The Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi has announced that the first phase of the Dh2.85 billion Mid-Island Parkway road project will be completed in 2027. This eight-lane dual carriageway will connect the northern Saadiyat interchange on the E12 motorway to the island's southern end and across to the Umm Yifeenah Island Central Interchange, with journey times to Reem Island or Abu Dhabi's main island decreasing from 25 to 10 minutes.

The project involves 2km of reclaimed land protected by 150,000 square metres of rock to prevent erosion, 4km of walking and cycling tracks, and sustainability measures such as smart energy-saving lighting and an irrigation system supporting native, drought-resistant landscaping.
