Dubai's AED 1.16 Billion Al Meydan Street Upgrade: RTA Awards Contracts for 17km of Roads and 3.7km of Bridges by End 2028

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority has awarded two contracts worth AED 1.161 billion to develop Al Meydan Street from First Al Khail Street to Umm Suqeim Street, adding 17 kilometres of roads and 3,700 metres of bridges by 2028, serving over 500,000 residents.

The RTA expects an 18 per cent capacity boost and a drive time from Al Manama Street and Dubai-Al Ain Road to Umm Suqeim Street cut from 30 minutes to 10, with new cycling tracks added to the network.

Two contracts, one corridor

The first contract rebuilds about 14 kilometres with a grade separated interchange linking Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. The second extends the street across Al Khail Road to Muscat Street via a multi level interchange, backed by RTA Director General Mattar Al Tayer as proactive planning under Dubai's 2040 Master Plan.

Dubai 3D is live: the whole city, every market, on one map you can fly through

Image
Doment has launched Dubai 3D , a free three dimensional map of Dubai, at dubaimap.doment.ai . The skyline is drawn at real building heights, with the Burj Khalifa standing at its actual 828 metres, and the property market is drawn on top of it as separate layers rather than a single cloud of pins. The map carries 1,642 off plan projects , 2,956 resale listings and 87,961 live rental homes grouped into 4,009 building pins, each pin carrying the real count of homes available in that building. Alongside them sit 2,180 real places you can switch on as layers: metro stations, malls, schools, hospitals, beaches, parks and airports. Click a tower and a card opens with the developer, the community, the price and every market active in that building, with one click through to the full record on doment.ai, including neighbourhood scores and measured driving times. Where Doment knows the exact building, the camera flies down and lights up the tower itself. Where it only holds the community...
