Dubai Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA) The Ras Al Khor Highway Widening Project has been completed from 3 to 4 lanes along a 3 km stretch in both directions.
The works extend from the Bu Kadra intersection to the Al Khail Road intersection. RTA will widen the curve collector road on Ras Al Khor Road towards Dubai-Al Ain Road from one to two lanes in early April.
This project is part of ACR efforts to improve Dubai’s infrastructure, particularly in areas experiencing rapid urbanization and population growth. Ras Al Khor Road is a vital artery serving numerous residential and industrial districts home to approximately 650,000 residents, in addition to a number of various ongoing development projects.
Widening Ras Al Khor Road from three to four lanes in each direction will improve traffic movement, increase vehicle entry from 6,000 to 8,000 per hour and reduce travel times by up to 33% during peak periods. Additionally, the upgrade of the bypass lane towards Dubai-Al Ain Road is expected to double the capacity from 1,000 to 2,000 vehicles per hour and improve vehicle flow by 100%.
