Nad Al Sheba's New Bridge: A Game Changer

New Bridge at Nad Al Sheba: One-Minute Drive from Dubai–Al Ain Road

Dubai's continuously evolving transportation infrastructure has reached another significant milestone. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the construction of a new, approximately 700-meter-long, two-lane bridge in the Nad Al Sheba area, providing a direct connection for traffic coming from the Dubai–Al Ain Road. The new development aims to improve mobility for around 30,000 residents in the area and significantly reduce traffic congestion.

83% Shorter Travel Time

The new bridge has a capacity of 2,600 vehicles per hour, which allows the travel time from the Dubai–Al Ain Road to Nad Al Sheba to be reduced from six minutes to just one minute. The project is expected to commence in the last quarter of 2025 and be completed by the end of 2026. The investment not only provides faster transportation but also contributes to Dubai's goal of becoming one of the world's most livable and easily navigable cities.

More Than Just a Bridge

The RTA is not only building a new bridge but is also undertaking a comprehensive transportation development project affecting the entire area. A 170-meter-long, two-lane bridge has already been opened at the intersection of Nad Al Sheba Street and Dubai–Al Ain Road, improving accessibility towards Meydan and surrounding development areas.

Focused Attention on School Environments

As part of the project, significant traffic engineering improvements have been made near local schools, which serve thousands of students. Expanding parking spaces and newly designed drop-off and pick-up zones contribute to safer and smoother handling of morning and afternoon peak traffic.

New Roundabouts and Internal Connections

A roundabout has been created at one important junction, reducing waiting time by 50%. New entrances and exits from Meydan Street have reduced travel time towards residential areas by 60%.

The project also includes a revamped internal road network, with new roads and connection points. The new infrastructure aims to facilitate smoother movement between neighboring residential areas and increase the efficiency of the area's roads.

Future-Oriented Solutions

This project reflects the RTA's long-term strategy of developing sustainable and forward-thinking transportation systems that cater to both current and future needs. Planning based on active public feedback ensures that community interests remain a priority.

Summary:

The new bridge and related transportation developments at Nad Al Sheba not only reduce travel time but also improve the quality of life in the area. The RTA's commitment to fast, safe, and sustainable transportation marks a new level in Dubai's continually expanding urban structure.
