A comprehensive five-year plan for internal roads, covering 634 kilometers at an estimated cost of Dh3.7 billion, has been greenlit by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. The plan encompasses 21 projects that will be spread across 12 residential, commercial, and industrial zones, according to Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The project locations are strategically selected to enhance connectivity and accessibility. In 2025, internal roads will be built in Nad El Sheba 3 and Al Amardi, serving the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment project, which includes 482 housing units. Additional internal roads will be developed in Hatta, also serving a Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment project with 100 housing units. By 2026, the RTA plans to construct 92 kilometers of internal roads in Nadd Hessa and Al Awir 1.
The year 2027 will witness the development of 45 kilometers of roads in Al Athbah, Mushrif, and Hatta, along with 14 kilometers of roads in Warsan 3 (Industrial Area). In 2028, one of the most extensive internal road projects, spanning 284 kilometers, will be undertaken across three communities: Al Awir 1, Wadi Al Amardi, and Hind 3. This includes 221 kilometers of roads in Al Awir 1, 22 kilometers of roads in Wadi Al Amardi, and 41 kilometers of roads in Hind 3. The construction momentum will continue in 2029, with 200 kilometers of internal roads planned for Hind 4 and Al Yalayis 5, comprising 39 kilometers in Hind 4 and 161 kilometers in Al Yalayis 5.
