8/26/25, 2:46 PM Dubai's RTA announces new project to reduce traffic towards airport | Khaleej Times
Al Tayer reaffirmed RTA’s commitment to developing Dubai’s road and transport infrastructure. He
said, “The expansion will boost street capacity, improve safety, and shorten journey times during
peak hours.”

Airport Street improvements

In recent years, RTA has implemented a project to upgrade Airport Street, covering the stretch from
its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to its intersection with Casablanca Street.
The project included the construction of bridges and tunnels at Al Rashidiya, as well as at the
intersections with Casablanca Street, Marrakech Street, and Nad Al Hamar Street, in addition to

improvements to surface-level junctions.

The project, which directly serves Dubai International Airport, also included the construction of three

single-lane bridges: one providing direct access to Terminal 3 without stopping at a signal, another
leading to the Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) complex, and the third going from Airport
Street towards Casablanca Street without a traffic signal.

It also provided an alternative route for vehicles to travel from Al Garhoud to Terminals 1 and 3
directly, and expanded Casablanca Street from three to four lanes in the direction of Al Garhoud
Bridge.
