Al Fay Street will accommodate 64,400 per hour and serve the residential and development areas once the project is completed.
It will also benefit an estimated population and visitor base of 600,000 individuals.
It was in January that the RTA had also announced three major developments on Sheikh Zayed Road.
According to a Dubai Media Office report, these developments aim to enhance both capacity and efficiency on this critical road in Dubai and will be undertaken as Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road is a vital traffic corridor, connecting major commercial and financial hubs like the Dubai International Financial Centre, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Mall. It also serves as a key route for global corporations, banks, and investment institutions in the area.
