8/26/25, 2:46 PM RTA awards contract to widen bridge leading to Terminal 1...
In recent years, RTA has implemented a project to upgrade Airport Street, covering the stretch from its intersection with
Sheikh Mohamed 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 a single-lane bridge
providing direct access to Terminal 3 without stopping at the signalised intersection, another bridge leading to the Dubai
Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) complex, and an additional single-lane bridge enabling traffic from Airport Street
towards Casablanca Street without waiting at the signal.
It further delivered an alternative route for vehicles from Al Garhoud to access Terminals 1 and 3 directly, along with the
expansion of Casablanca Street from three to four lanes in the direction of Al Garhoud Bridge.
