To enhance travel convenience and ease commuting for residents, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the completion of a new bridge. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, RTA announced the opening of Zaa'beel Palace Street Bridge.
The three-lane Zaa'beel Palace Street Bridge, stretching 700 metres, now connects Zaa'beel Palace Street and Oud Metha Road to Al Khail Road heading towards Abu Dhabi. Capable of accommodating 4,800 vehicles per hour, the bridge is expected to significantly reduce commute times, according to the RTA.
The new Zaa'beel Palace Street Bridge is a major part of the RTA's Dhs 700 million Al Khail Road improvement project, which will build five new bridges to reduce highway congestion. The project aims to cut travel time by 30% and will enhance a 6,820-metre stretch of Al Khail Road, including areas like Zaa'beel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair, and Jumeirah Village Circle. The goal is to widen the road, ease traffic congestion, and improve the flow of traffic.
