UAE Launches AED 750M Emirates Road Expansion
The UAE's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has greenlit a AED 750 million development plan to expand Emirates Road (E611) over a 25 km stretch from Al Badee Interchange in Sharjah to Umm Al Quwain, raising lane capacity from three to five in each direction. This upgrade will boost traffic capacity to approximately 9,000 vehicles per hour, representing a 65 percent increase, with work slated to begin in September 2025 and run for two years. A feasibility focal point of the project is Interchange No. 7, which will be upgraded with six directional bridges covering 12.6 km of roadway to handle 13,200 vehicles per hour. Collector roads spanning 3.4 km on both sides of the highway will further streamline traffic flow into local junctions. According to Minister Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, the initiative aligns with nationwide efforts to deliver sustainable, integrated transport infrastructure that accommodates economic expansion and quality-of-life improvements. "This project represents a significant step toward realising the UAE's vision of an integrated road network... reducing emissions and raising living standards," he said. Once completed by late 2027, commuters travelling between Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Sharjah, and Dubai can expect travel times to fall by up to 45 percent, significantly easing daily congestion on one of the country's busiest inter‑emirate corridors. In light of the UAE's booming population, which is over 11 million, this major road overhaul is seen as a cornerstone in modernising transport infrastructure and reducing commuter frustration across the federation.
