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.

New Salik toll gates

Two new Salik toll gates will begin operating on Dubai roads in November 2024,
taking the total number of toll gates in Dubai from eight to 10. The first will be
located at the Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road and the second in Al Safa

South on Sheikh Zayed Road between Al Meydan Street and Umm Al Sheif Street.

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.
