Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed Al Rowaiyah Street, a 3.5 km road that links Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street near Dubai Silicon Oasis and Nadd Hessa.
The project provides entry and exit points to both roads, serving Nadd Hessa, Dubai International Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Warsan 4.
The link between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street forms part of RTA’s road network upgrades to accommodate urban expansion and population growth and to strengthen connectivity between residential, commercial and service areas.
New Dubai road to benefit 80,000 residents by 2030 as RTA completes Al Rowaiyah Street
The project included converting the Knowledge and Human Development Authority roundabout on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, near Dubai International Academic City, Nadd Hessa and Dubai Silicon Oasis, into a signalised intersection to enhance traffic safety.
The development included cycling tracks spanning 2 km to promote lifestyles and the use of soft mobility modes, the Dubai Media Office said in a statement.
The project increases traffic capacity on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street by up to 40 per cent and reduces travel time to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road from 10 minutes to 4 minutes, representing a 60 per cent reduction.
These improvements support traffic flow and enhance mobility across the area. They are expected to benefit more than 80,000 residents by 2030.
Al Rowaiyah Street is one of the emirate’s road infrastructure projects, serving residential and service areas, including Dubai International Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Nadd Hessa and Warsan 4.
