There has been an increase in motorists using the Al Maktoum Bridge and

Al Garhoud Bridge Salik toll gate in Dubai. On Monday, toll gate operator
Salik Co attributed the surge in traffic on the two bridges to the closure of
the Floating Bridge.
During October-December 2023, there was a massive increase of 53.6 per

cent in the number of revenue-generating trips that motorists took
through Al Maktoum Bridge due to the closure of the Floating Bridge and
diversion of traffic, excluding paid taxi trips, it said in its annual results
released on Monday.
