Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a AED 633 million contract to develop Al Mustaqbal Street, a key corridor linking major commercial and residential hubs.
The project will widen the street from three to four lanes in each direction, build bridges and tunnels totaling 1,700 metres, and boost traffic capacity by 33%, cutting travel time nearly in half.
The upgrades cover the stretch from Za’abeel Palace Street to Financial Centre Street and include three tunnels and a 450-metre bridge to improve flow at critical intersections. This development supports connectivity to landmarks such as Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai International Financial Centre, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay, benefiting an estimated half a million residents and visitors.
RTA Director General Mattar Al Tayer highlighted the project’s integration with the ongoing Trade Centre Roundabout redevelopment and its role in enhancing access across Dubai’s major road network. The plan also includes pedestrian walkways, cycling tracks, decorative lighting, and new urban spaces aimed at safer, more accessible streets and vibrant community life.
The Al Mustaqbal Street project progresses alongside other major infrastructure efforts like the Oud Metha and Al Asayel Streets upgrade and recent phases of the Al Khail Road development, all designed to support Dubai’s growing population and urban expansion while reducing travel times and easing congestion.
