Dubai Transport Revolution Overview
Dubai Transport Revolution accelerates with a Dh170 billion federal package transforming roads, rail, and air mobility by 2030. This initiative expands key highways like Emirates Road to 10 lanes for 65% more capacity and 45% faster travel. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Etihad Road also widen significantly, easing inter-emirate commutes.
