Traffic diversions in Mirdif for Dubai Metro Blue Line works

TAG 91.115-07-2025
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is advising motorists of new traffic diversions in Mirdif as construction begins on the Dubai Metro Blue Line.
The changes affect the area near City Centre Mirdif, where the roundabout at the intersection of 5th and 8th Street will be closed.
Traffic will now be diverted from 5th to 8th Street toward the mall, and in the opposite direction toward Algeria Street.
Alternative access has been arranged for mall visitors, and a U-turn has been added near Ghoroob Square to help ease traffic flow from City Centre Mirdif Street.
Drivers are urged to plan their routes to avoid delays.

New exit eases traffic congestion around Dubai's Ras Al Khor

A new exit is set to open in early August to ease traffic from Dubai's Financial Centre Street towards Ras Al Khor Road, near the Bu Kadra Interchange. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) says the upgrade is part of its Rapid Traffic Solutions Plan to reduce congestion and enhance road network efficiency in the Ras Al Khor area — a busy zone bordering key industrial and commercial districts. The new exit is expected to cut peak travel times by more than half — from 13 minutes to just 6. It also eases congestion for vehicles heading towards Dubai-Al Ain Road. It follows other improvements in the area, including the widening of Exit 25 from Ras Al Khor Road to Al Khail Road in the direction of Al Meydan Street, which has doubled capacity and trimmed delays during peak hours. The RTA says these changes support Dubai's growing infrastructure needs and long-term mobility goals. RTA will open in early August a new exit from the collector road for vehicles travelling from Financial Centre Street towards Ras Al Khor Road, near Bu Kadra Interchange.

Relief for Dubai drivers: Ras Al Khor traffic cut by 54% with new exit

Image credit: Dubai Media Office/ Website Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority ( Read- The new exit is expected to significantly improve traffic flow at the Bu Kadra Interchange by providing an additional route for vehicles heading toward Ras Al Khor Road and Dubai–Al Ain Road. According to the RTA, the upgrade will slash peak-hour travel time by 54 per cent, reducing it from 13 minutes to just 6 minutes. Image credit: Dubai Media Office/ Website This latest development builds on a series of recent enhancements in the Ras Al Khor corridor. Among them is the widening of Exit 25 from Ras Al Khor Road to Al Khail Road, heading toward Al Meydan Street. The 500-metre stretch was expanded from one to two lanes, doubling its capacity to accommodate up to 3,000 vehicles per hour. The result: reduced queue lengths and a cut in peak travel time from 7 minutes to 4 minutes. These upgrades align with Dubai's broader vision for urban mobility and infrastructure development. The RTA reiterated its commitment to delivering sustainable, long-term solutions to meet the needs of a growing city.
