RTA opens new Jumeirah Street Bridge as part of Al Shindagha Corridor Project
The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai has opened a game-changing new bridge as part of a major transport project.
A new Jumeirah Street Bridge has opened which will significantly reduce journey times and improve traffic flow in the surrounding area.
The newly opened bridge is part of the fourth phase of the Dhs3 billion Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project.
The bridge extends 4.8 kilometres from the intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street to the Falcon Intersection on Al Mina Street.
It features two lanes and can accommodate up to 3,200 vehicles per hour across a distance of 985 metres in the direction of the Infinity Bridge.
Journey times have been significantly reduced on the road by a whopping 67 percent – from 12 minutes down to four minutes.

The bridge provides reduced travel times for motorists by allowing uninterrupted traffic flow without the need to stop at traffic signals.
Phase four of the Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement will also include five additional bridges totalling 3.1 kilometres in length and will be capable of accommodating up to 19,400 vehicles per hour across all lanes.
This section of the long-running transport project will cover 4.8 kilometres of road enhancements, along with upgrades to key surface intersections on Jumeirah Street, Al Mina Street and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Street.
There will also be two pedestrian bridges coming soon as part of the plans. One bridge will be on Sheikh Rashid Road and another on Al Mina Street.
Later in 2025 we can expect a 780-metre three-lane bridge to connect Infinity Bridge to Al Wasl Street via Al Mina Street. Once operational, it will support up to 4,800 vehicles per hour.
