New four-lane tunnel opens in Dubai to ease traffic
An 800-metre tunnel with four lanes in each direction has opened in Dubai as part of a project to ease traffic flow in the city. The tunnel extends from the junction with Al Khail Road to the intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road as part of the Umm Suqeim Street development project. The project is part of plans by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to ease the flow of traffic and improve the road infrastructure in the emirate. 'The Umm Suqeim Street development project extends from the intersection with Al Khail Road to the intersection with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Road, covering a distance of 4.6km," said Mattar Al Tayer, RTA director general, on Sunday. "The works included upgrading the intersection of Umm Suqeim Street with Al Barsha South Street, near Kings' School, where an 800-metre-long underpass with four lanes in each direction was constructed, in addition to a signalised surface-level intersection. "This development is considered one of the most important strategic projects for developing transverse east-west roads to enhance connectivity with vertical north-south roads. The completion of the project complements RTA's efforts to upgrade this corridor." The tunnel is part of plans to develop the Umm Suqeim-Al Qudra corridor, which extends from the intersection with Jumeirah Street to the junction with Emirates Road, spanning a total of 16km.

OPEC+ countries to reduce oil output by 547,000 bpd in September
Image: Getty Images The eight OPEC+ countries that previously announced additional voluntary production cuts — Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman — convened virtually on August 3, 2025, to assess global oil market conditions and the economic outlook. Following their earlier decision on December 5, 2024, to gradually and flexibly phase out the 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in voluntary cuts beginning April 1, 2025, the group confirmed it would implement a production adjustment of 547,000 bpd for September 2025, relative to August's required levels. This move represents four incremental monthly increases. The countries noted that the adjustment decision reflects steady global economic indicators, healthy oil market fundamentals, and low inventory levels. However, they underscored that the rollback of the voluntary production cuts could be paused or reversed depending on future market developments, providing the group with necessary flexibility to maintain market stability. Read: Additionally, the nations affirmed this step would allow participating countries to accelerate compensation for past overproduction. They reaffirmed their full commitment to the Declaration of Cooperation and the voluntary adjustments monitored by the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) during its 53rd meeting on April 3, 2024. According to Saudi Press Agency , the eight producers also reiterated their pledge to fully compensate for any overproduction since January 2024. Monthly meetings will continue to monitor compliance, market conditions, and compensation levels, with the next meeting scheduled for September 7, 2025.
