The opening completes the traffic configuration at the intersection following the opening of the bridge in the opposite direction in February

The US Central Command has redirected 37 vessels since a blockade was imposed on Iran on April 13, the military said on April 25.

The project included paving two kilometres of internal roads, installing road markings, creating parking spaces, and adding 50 lighting units

The works included widening Hessa Street to four lanes in each direction and upgrading bridges at intersections with Al Asayel Street, First Al Khail Street, and Sheikh Zayed Road

The Blue Line will significantly boost connectivity across nine key districts projected to accommodate over one million residents by 2040

The roads include provisions for lighting, stormwater drainage, cycling tracks, and parking to improve mobility and safety

Al Thanya Street is a major route carrying heavy traffic due to its links with Jumeirah, Al Wasl, Umm Suqeim, Umm Al Sheif, and Al Manara

The move is part of a broader infrastructure initiative to improve rainwater and groundwater drainage and resurface roadways

The RTA also expanded the entry point to the bridge on Al Mustaqbal Street over the canal, in the direction of First Al Khail Street, from one lane to two

The bridge not only expedites the flow of traffic but also facilitates movement right from the Infinity Bridge via Al Mina Street to Sheikh Rashid Road
