UAE's Dh750-million Emirates Road project to ease traffic, cut travel time
The UAE's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has announced a new project to upgrade Emirates Road with a budget of Dh750 million. The 25-km project from Al Badi intersection to Umm Al Quwain Emirate will begin in September 2025.
Aimed at boosting road capacity, easing traffic congestion, and reducing travel time by 45 per cent, the project is expected to be completed in two years.
The road will be widened from three to five lanes in each direction on the 25-km stretch to help reduce traffic congestion. This development is part of the UAE's national plan to improve the federal road network and support economic growth.
The Ministry emphasised that the project reflects the country's commitment to building a smart and resilient transportation system that meets the needs of a rapidly growing population and economy.
