The project is one of the most significant strategic initiatives undertaken by RTA, consisting of multiple phases, with work starting in 2016. It spans Sheikh Rashid Road, Al Mina Street, Al Khaleej Street, and Cairo Street, covering a total length of 13 kilometres. It includes the development of 15 intersections and serves the areas of Deira and Bur Dubai, in addition to several key development projects, including Dubai Islands, Deira Waterfront, Dubai Maritime City, and Mina Rashid. The project is estimated to benefit a population of one million people, reducing travel time from 104 minutes to 16 minutes by 2030. It also facilitates free-flowing traffic along the Al Shindagha Corridor, enhances road capacity and efficiency, and improves traffic safety standards.

Completed Phases

• The intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road with Oud Metha Road: It included the construction of a 700-metre-long bridge with three lanes, extending from Oud Metha Road (near Latifa Hospital) towards Sheikh Rashid Road, and from there to Sheikh Zayed Road and Happiness Street (the overpass leading to the Dubai World Trade Centre).
• The intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road with Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street: It included the construction of two bridges on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street, each with two lanes in both directions, a single-lane bridge from Zaa’beel Street towards Sheikh Rashid Road, and a tunnel on Sheikh Rashid Road leading to the intersection with Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street, featuring four lanes in each direction.
• Bridges leading to the entrances and exits of Dubai Islands at the intersection of Al Khaleej Street with Abu Baker Al Siddique: The total length of the constructed bridges and ramps is 2,571 metres, with an estimated capacity of approximately 20,700 vehicles per hour. 
• Al Khaleej Street Bridge: Spanning 570 metres with three lanes heading towards Bur Dubai. It facilitates traffic on Al Khaleej Street coming from the intersection with Abu Baker Al Siddique Street and traffic from Dubai Islands towards the Shindagha Tunnel. The bridge has a capacity of 4,800 vehicles per hour and includes a surface-level intersection at Al Khaleej Street with Omar Bin Al Khattab Street.
• The Infinity Bridge: It is approximately 295 metres long, consisting of six lanes in each direction in addition to a combined 3-metre-wide track for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge has the ability to accommodate about 24,000 vehicles per hour in both directions. It rises 15.5 metres high above the creek levels, with a 75-meter-wide navigational channel allowing all authorised ships to pass through Dubai Creek. Moreover, the bridge is crowned with an infinity-shaped arch which is 42 metres high, symbolizing Dubai's limitless ambitions. With its unique architectural design inspired by the theme of infinity, the bridge is a distinctive global landmark for the Emirate of Dubai.
• Al Saqr Intersection: This included two bridges along Al Khaleej Street, the first being 750 metres long, heading north and the second being 1,075 metres long heading south, each with six lanes in both directions and the capacity of accommodating up to 24,000 vehicles per hour in both directions. It also features a single-lane bridge for right-turn traffic from Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street to Al Khaleej Street, spanning 250 metres, with the ability to accommodate 1,600 vehicles per hour. Additionally, a two-lane tunnel facilitates left-turn traffic from Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street to Al Mina Street, spanning 500 metres and accommodating up to 3,200 vehicles per hour. The project also includes a surface-level intersection controlled by traffic signals, connecting Al Khaleej Street with Al Ghubaiba Road and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street.

Ongoing phrases

• The intersection of Sheikh Rashid Road with Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street: The project includes three bridges with a total length of 3.1 kilometres and a combined capacity of 19,400 vehicles per hour across all lanes. The first bridge is 1,335 metres long, with three lanes in each direction, ensuring the smooth traffic flow between Sheikh Rashid Road and Al Saqr Intersection. It can accommodate approximately 10,800 vehicles per hour in both directions. Furthermore, the second bridge is 780 metres long, with three lanes serving traffic from Al Saqr Intersection towards Al Wasl Road, with a capacity of 5,400 vehicles per hour. As for the third bridge, it spans 985 metres with two lanes, serving traffic from Jumeirah Road to Al Mina Street towards Al Saqr Intersection, with a capacity of 3,200 vehicles per hour. Additionally, the project involves developing 4.8 kilometres of roads, upgrading surface-level intersections on Jumeirah Road, Al Mina Street, and Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street, as well as constructing two pedestrian bridges.
• Al Khaleej Street Tunnel: It extends from the end of the Infinity Bridge ramp in Deira to the intersection of Al Khaleej Street with Cairo Street, spanning 1,650 metres with three lanes in each direction, and the capacity of 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions. The tunnel facilitates smooth and free-flowing traffic for commuters travelling from the Infinity Bridge towards Deira and vice versa. Additionally, the project includes upgrading the Cairo-Al Wuheida intersection from roundabouts to signal-controlled intersections.
