Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened a new bridge connecting Jumeirah Street to Al Mina Street, which aims to facilitate smoother traffic flow toward the Infinity Bridge. The newly inaugurated structure spans 985m and consists of two lanes, with a traffic capacity of up to 3,200 vehicles per hour.
This bridge is part of Phase 4 of the broader Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project. The phase covers a 4.8km stretch from the intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street to the Falcon Intersection on Al Mina Street. The corridor is a key part of Dubai’s road network, aimed at accommodating increasing traffic volumes as the city continues to grow.
The new bridge is expected to significantly reduce congestion, particularly for drivers traveling from Jumeirah Street toward the Infinity Bridge. According to RTA, the travel time along this route is projected to drop by 67% from 12 minutes to approximately four minutes by removing the need to stop at traffic signals.
Phase 4 also includes the construction of five additional bridges totaling 3.1km in length. These are designed to handle up to 19,400 vehicles per hour. Road upgrades as part of this phase also focus on key intersections along Jumeirah Street, Al Mina Street, and Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street.
Pedestrian infrastructure is also being addressed with two new pedestrian bridges planned one on Sheikh Rashid Road and another on Al Mina Street to improve safety and accessibility.
Looking ahead, a major element of the project is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2025: a 780m, three-lane bridge that will link Infinity Bridge to Al Wasl Street via Al Mina Street. This future connection is expected to accommodate up to 4,800 vehicles per hour, further enhancing the corridor’s traffic capacity.
