The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced some major improvements with phase 1 of 7th Interchange, Al Yalayes and Al Asayel Road open from Saturday. The roads are situated between Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road and are designed to improve the connection between these roads. The new openings will ease the flow of traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road by diverting traffic to Al Yalayes Road and onto the adjacent roads such as Al Asayel Road, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road.

The new projects will increase the road’s capacity for vehicles to up to 20,000 per hour.

According to the RTA, "The projects have been undertaken in implementation of the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to keep pace with the upswing seen by Dubai, meet the rapid urbanisation of the Emirate and bring happiness to people.

“The Projects will step up the capacity of Al Yalayes Road to almost 20 thousand vehicles per hour in both directions. They will also cut short the transit time between the 7th Interchange on the SZR and the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to as low as 4 minutes.”
