The road to better.

Roadworks commence on Al Safa Street.

As part of the wider Jumeira and Al Wasl Street network enhancements, work is now underway to upgrade Al Safa Road and improve traffic flow and connectivity.

The 1.5 km development will connect Sheikh Zayed Road with Al Wasl Street through upgraded roads, bridges, tunnels and intersections, making journeys through the area smoother and more efficient.

What's changing?

  • 12 → 3 minutes
    Reduced journey time along Al Safa Street
    once the improvements are complete.
  • 6,000 → 12,000
    The road’s capacity will double to 12,000 vehicles per
    hour in both directions, helping improve traffic flow.
  • 2 bridges and 2 tunnels
    New grade-separated connections will improve movement
    between Al Safa, Al Wasl, Sheikh Zayed Road and Financial Centre Street.
  • 4 lanes in each direction
    Al Safa Street will be widened from three
    signal-controlled lanes to four lanes in each direction.
 

More than better roads

The improvements also include dedicated pedestrian and cycling paths, upgraded urban spaces and landscaping, creating safer and more accessible ways to move through the area.

During the works

As construction progresses, traffic movements and routes in the area may change.


Thank you for your patience and understanding
as we work to make the journey better.

The road to better starts here.
