Etihad Rail officials confirmed their 'ongoing commitment to collaborating with the relevant authorities in the UAE to ensure that operations align with the highest global standards.'
'The goal is to provide efficient transport services for both goods and passengers in key areas, ensuring connectivity and the safe, effective delivery of railway services,' the statement continued.
The new flyover connects vital routes that enhance mobility to and from Dubai, supporting Etihad Rail's efforts to 'strengthen social bonds, improve the movement of goods, and support economic growth across the country.'
Future plans include extending the flyover towards Jumeirah Golf Estates, with construction of a two-lane road in each direction to further enhance network connectivity and ensure smooth traffic flow in the area.

Sheikh Mohammed's Surprise Visit on the Dubai Tram
Some Dubai Metro and Tram commuters were treated to a surprise sighting recently, as His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, paid a visit to one of the city's Tram stations. A video shared by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) showed Sheikh Mohammed standing on the Tram platform and engaging with officials. The visit formed part of his ongoing efforts to personally oversee the development and operational progress of Dubai's public transport systems. Several residents managed to catch a glimpse of the Dubai Ruler during his journey, with photos and videos of the encounter circulating across social media. Since its launch in 2014, the Dubai Tram has transported more than 60 million riders. The 42 minute route connects Al Sufouh Station to Jumeirah Lakes Towers Station, serving 11 stations along Al Sufouh Road. It links key districts including Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Knowledge Village, Dubai Media City, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), and Dubai Marina and is fully integrated with the Dubai Metro system. In 2024, the RTA announced that it is exploring the introduction of a trackless tram system in eight locations across Dubai. This proposed mode of transport would be self-driving, electric-powered, and rail-free instead guided by camera-based lane tracking technology that follows a virtual path. Hands-on leadership: Sheikh Mohammed's continued use of public transport This isn't the first time Sheikh Mohammed has opted for public transport. Known for his hands-on approach to leadership and quality assurance, he was seen riding the Dubai Metro in 2023 as well. In fact, in 2020, he officially inaugurated the Route 2020 extension, a key line connecting the city directly to the Expo 2020 site. صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد ال مكتوم، نائب رئيس الدولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء حاكم دبي (رعاه الله)، خلال تجوله في دبي مستخدماً مترو دبي.HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, tours #Dubai using #DubaiMetro. — RTA (@rta_dubai) July 14, 2023 Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence of the UAE, also took the Metro back in 2020 to mark its 11th anniversary, sharing his journey online and highlighting the importance of sustainable urban mobility. Earlier this year, Sheikh Mohammed laid the foundation stone for the Dubai Metro's upcoming Blue Line, a transformative project aimed at enhancing connectivity across the city. Once complete, the Blue Line will include the world's highest metro station, a notable milestone in Dubai's ongoing transport expansion. Spanning 30 kilometres, the Dubai Metro Blue Line will comprise 14 stations, with 15.5 kilometres of track running underground and 14.5 kilometres above ground. It will also feature key interchange points with the existing Red and Green Lines. According to the RTA, the Blue Line is expected to be operational by 2029.

More Than Just A Train: Etihad Rail Will Spark Next Surge For UAE Economy, Jobs
Imagine stepping onto a sleek high-speed train in Abu Dhabi and arriving in Dubai in under an hour—no traffic, no stress, just a smooth, quiet ride across the desert. That futuristic vision is set to become reality as Etihad Rail, the UAE's ambitious national railway project, is on track for launch in 2026—and it promises more than just faster travel. It's poised to drive an economic shift that touches nearly every corner of the country. The numbers tell a compelling story. The Abu Dhabi–Dubai passenger line alone is expected to contribute up to Dh145 billion to the UAE's GDP over the coming decades, according to estimates from Emirates News Agency (WAM). And by 2030, the wider national rail network is projected to add Dh3.5 billion annually to the economy—with an impressive economic return rate of 15.5%. But that's just one track of a much larger transformation. Etihad Rail is not just laying tracks—it's laying the groundwork for the creation of more than 9,000 new jobs by 2030 across the UAE as part of a larger project. That includes opportunities in engineering, construction, train operations, logistics, and maintenance. Launched as part of the UAE's 'Projects of the 50' initiative with an investment of Dh50 billion, the UAE Railway Programme serves as a long-term strategy to connect all seven emirates and key urban and industrial hubs through a national rail network. The programme is expected to generate Dh200 billion in economic opportunities, according to official government data. It aims not only to develop a sustainable transport system but also to drive growth in sectors like environment, industry, and tourism. As stations, depots, and supporting infrastructure take shape across the Emirates, the project has already employed tens of thousands during its construction phase, with ripple effects across supply chains, factories, and service sectors. In fact, the development of local industries—like factories manufacturing railway sleepers and other materials—has already generated hundreds of additional roles. Meanwhile, partnerships with institutions like ADVETI (Abu Dhabi Vocational Education and Training Institute) are preparing the next generation of Emiratis for lifelong careers in the transport and engineering sectors. 'It's not just a railway—it's a legacy project that's building a completely new labour base for the nation,' one Etihad Rail spokesperson said. This isn't only about jobs. With faster, greener travel linking major cities, the railway is expected to boost tourism, reduce road congestion, and support property value growth in areas surrounding future stations. Business travel will become more efficient, while transportation costs for goods and people are set to fall, benefiting both everyday residents and industries. It's also a powerful lever for economic diversification—reducing the country's dependence on oil by creating new pathways for commerce, logistics, and sustainable infrastructure. That includes a significant environmental gain, as electric-powered trains are expected to remove thousands of trucks and cars from UAE highways, reducing carbon emissions and aligning with the country's climate goals. According to the official UAE Government portal, the UAE Railway Programme aims to reduce 70% to 80% of carbon emissions over the next 50 years, aligning directly with the country's long-term sustainability goals. The economic momentum around Etihad Rail is only gaining speed—with job creation and broader financial benefits set to accelerate as the network expands and operations gear up. So whether you're a fresh graduate eyeing a future in transport, an entrepreneur watching shipping costs, or a resident dreaming of stress-free intercity travel, Etihad Rail isn't just a train project—it's a nation-building engine. The trains may start rolling in 2026, but for the UAE's economy and its workforce, the journey has already left the station.
