RTA commences construction of two pedestrian bridges at Dubai's Palm Jumeirah
Construction has commenced on two pedestrian bridges near Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, a joint effort between the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Holding Community Management. The bridges are being built to enhance pedestrian safety and alleviate traffic congestion in this popular destination. The first bridge, located near Shoreline at the entrance of Palm Jumeirah, is slated for completion in June 2027.
The second bridge, situated at Golden Mile adjacent to retail frontages, will be finished in October 2027. Together, these bridges will accommodate 2,700 pedestrians per hour, exceeding current demand and accommodating future growth. They are projected to benefit around 16,000 residents. RTA's Chief Executive Officer, Hussain Al Banna, highlighted the project as a testament to the strategic partnership between RTA and Dubai Holding.
It aims to integrate infrastructure and road network projects with major developments, improve connectivity, safety, and accessibility, and support sustainable urban growth across the emirate. Dubai Holding Community Management's CEO, Francis Gianni, emphasized that the new bridges will enhance accessibility and connectivity across Palm Jumeirah, promoting safer pedestrian movement and smoother traffic flow.
The investment underscores their commitment to creating future-ready communities centered around the needs of people and their daily experiences.
