Dubai upgrades key traffic corridor in Al Quoz to ease congestion

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed major upgrades on Al Marabea’ Street in Al Quoz, improving traffic flow and easing congestion.

The project included the expansion of a 1.1 km section from Al Khail Road exit to Al Asayel Street.

The upgrades have increased road capacity by 30 per cent and cut journey times by up to 30 per cent during peak hours.

The works also included adding a new traffic lane at an intersection leading to Street 16A, which has reduced congestion and vehicle queues by around 50 per cent.

New lighting poles have also been installed to improve visibility and road safety at night.

Al Marabea’ Street is an important route connecting Al Quoz with areas including Al Meydan, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, as well as nearby industrial and residential communities.

The RTA is also carrying out further improvements, including a new service road and continuous pedestrian walkway, along with a new access point from the Al Khail Road exit.

The additional works are expected to be completed by the end of August.
