RTA has awarded a AED431 million project to develop entry/exit points for Dubai Harbour.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a AED431 million project to construct direct entry/exit points for Dubai Harbour in partnership with Shamal Holding.
The project includes the construction of a two-lane bridge in each direction spanning 1500 meters, extending from Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Harbour.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, said, “The project provides a direct entry/exit for Dubai Harbour to ease the movement of visitors and residents. It covers the construction of a bridge with two lanes in each direction spanning 1,500 meters and accommodating 6,000 vehicles per hour. The bridge extends from the 5th intersection on Sheikh Zayed Road (near the American University in Dubai) to Dubai Harbour Street, passing through the intersection of Al Naseem Street with Al Falak Street and crossing over the intersection of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street up to Dubai Harbour.”
He added that the project also includes surface improvements at four intersections along the bridge to improve the flow of traffic and reduce the travel time from 12 minutes to 3 minutes.
Dubai Harbour is situated between Bluewaters Island and Palm Jumeirah, in proximity to iconic landmarks like Burj Al Arab and Expo Dubai.
