The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that one of the city’s busiest
               raised thoroughfares, Al Maktoum Bridge will operate partial, time-based closures until
               January 16, 2025. In a post on X.com that has since been removed, the RTA announced
               that between Mondays and Saturdays the bridge will be closed from 11pm until 5am,
               and that it will be closed for a full 24 hours each Sunday. The reason for the partial

               closure has been stated as maintenance works.

               Top-up amount of nol cards



               Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a new minimum top-up
               amount for nol cards at Dubai Metro stations. As of August 17, 2024, commuters visiting

               the ticking office must top-up their nol cards with a minimum of Dhs50. However, the
               new minimum amount does not apply if commuters top up their balance online.
               According to the RTA, the quickest way to top up your nol card is via the nol Pay app,
               the official RTA website, RTA Dubai app.


               Huge new bridge connecting Dubai Harbour



               Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the construction of a new
               two-lane bridge connecting Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Harbour. The mega road
               project, spanning 1500 metres, is capable of carrying 6,000 vehicles per hour and is set

               to cut traffic congestion and dramatically reduce travel time to the harbour from 12
               minutes to three minutes.

               Paid parking in Dubai Mall



               Salik in cooperation with Emaar Malls announced that parking at Dubai Mall will soon

               become a paid service. The payment will include a barrier-free system which will be put
               in place by Salik. It is expected to be rolled out in the third quarter of 2024. The process
               will be automated and customers will be charged using vehicle plate recognition. The
               payment will be deducted directly from the customer’s Salik user account – the same

               way it works when you pass the tolls. The price is yet to be announced, so stay tuned
               to What’s On for updates.
