Dubai RTA Opens Final Bridge of World Trade Centre Roundabout Project on October 30 2026
What happened
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will open the fifth and final bridge of the Trade Centre Roundabout Development Project on October 30, 2026, marking the full completion of major works on the junction.
The Context
- The engineering footprint: The project replaces the historic roundabout with an at-grade intersection supported by five bridges totaling 5,000 metres across Sheikh Zayed Road.
- The final connector: The concluding 1,000-metre, two-lane bridge links Al Majlis Street directly to 2nd December Street, handling approximately 3,000 vehicles per hour and cutting transit times on that route from six minutes to one minute.
- The urban reach: More than 500,000 residents and visitors across districts such as Zaa’beel, Al Satwa, and Al Karama secure free-flowing transit toward DIFC, DWTC, and Deira.
The Number
— the total capital deployed to slash average intersection wait times from 12 minutes down to 90 seconds, unlocking faster movement between the city's primary corporate hubs.
Takeaway
Expect these streamlined corridors to set the baseline for surrounding traffic flows ahead of the scheduled 2027 delivery of the Al Mustaqbal Street Development Project.
