Dubai completes Al Marabea’ Street upgrades, cuts travel time by 30 per cent

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has successfully completed significant upgrades to Al Marabea’ Street, a key corridor in Al Quoz. These enhancements aim to bolster the emirate's road infrastructure and improve traffic efficiency in response to Dubai's continuous urban expansion and growing traffic demands.

The project involved widening a 1.1-kilometer stretch of Al Marabea’ Street, specifically between the Al Khail Road exit and Al Asayel Street. This expansion has effectively addressed traffic bottlenecks, increasing the road's capacity by 30%. Consequently, commuters now experience improved traffic flow and a reduction in journey times by up to 30% during peak hours.

In addition to the street expansion, the RTA also enhanced an intersection by adding a new traffic lane for vehicles transitioning from Al Marabea’ Street to Street 16A. This measure has led to a 50% reduction in congestion and queue lengths. Modern lighting poles were also installed to boost traffic safety and visibility at night.

Al Marabea’ Street plays a crucial role in connecting major areas, including Al Khail Road with Al Asayel Street, and providing direct access to numerous industrial, commercial, and residential zones. It also serves traffic heading to and from Al Quoz, Al Meydan, Business Bay, and Downtown Dubai, thereby strengthening connectivity across the emirate.

Looking ahead, the RTA is undertaking further upgrades on Al Marabea’ Street, which include the construction of a new service road featuring a continuous pedestrian walkway. A new access point at the start of the Al Khail Road exit leading towards Al Marabea’ Street is also part of the plan. These additional works are scheduled for completion by the end of August 2026, promising even greater safety and accessibility for road users.
