All phases of the Al Khail Road Development Project has been completed, according to Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The project included the construction of five bridges spanning 3,300 metres and the widening of roads over a stretch of over 6,820 metres.
These improvements were carried out across seven key areas along Al Khail Road, including Al Jaddaf, Business Bay, Zabeel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair, and Jumeirah Village Circle.
As one of Dubai’s major strategic initiatives, the Al Khail Road Development Project focuses on improving parallel and supporting corridors to major highways such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and Emirates Road. Al Khail Road itself is a key arterial route, extending from Business Bay Crossing to its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. The road consists of five lanes in each direction, with sections expanding to over six lanes.

Serving approximately 1.5 million people, the project has resulted in a 30 per cent reduction in travel time while enhancing the capacity of existing intersections and bridges to handle around 19,600 vehicles per hour. The project has also improved traffic flow along Al Khail Road, eliminating bottlenecks at interchanges and ensuring smoother, uninterrupted traffic.
