Oud Maitha and Al Asayel Roads Development Project
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed all works on Oud Maitha Road and Al Asayel Street Development Project, one of the key projects aimed at strengthening the integration of Dubai's road network, improving connectivity between major traffic corridors, and keeping pace with the rapid urban and population growth in surrounding areas. The project involved enhancing four major intersections, in addition to constructing four bridges and two tunnels spanning 4,300 metres in total, and 14 kilometres of roads. These works improve traffic flow, increase road capacity, and reduce journey time.

The population of the areas served by the project is expected to exceed 420,000 by 2030.
