Terminal 1 of Dubai International Airport is about to get an upgrade. The bridge leading to the

terminal will soon be widened and updated, as per a contract awarded by Dubai’s Roads and
Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Dubai Aviation City Corporation (DACC).

This project aims to reduce traffic in the approach to the terminal, making it faster and more efficient
for passengers to reach the airport for their flights. This comes as passenger numbers continue to
grow at Dubai International Airport — even exceeding 92 million in 2024.
