The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has announced a significant investment with the awarding of a contract worth Dh696.414 million for the Trade Centre Roundabout Development Project.
This project aims to enhance one of Dubai’s crucial intersections and ease traffic congestion, linking Sheikh Zayed Road with five major streets.
The approved project includes the construction of five bridges spanning a total of 5,000 metres and converting the existing roundabout into a surface intersection to improve the flow of traffic inbound from Sheikh Zayed Road to 2nd December Street and the southbound traffic from Al Mustaqbal Street to Sheikh Zayed Road.
The redesign promises to double the intersection’s capacity, significantly reducing travel delays from 12 minutes to just 90 seconds, and shortening travel time from Sheikh Zayed Road to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street from six minutes to one minute.
This development is set to improve connectivity to key economic zones, such as the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
