Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is spearheading a transformative initiative to boost pedestrian safety across the city. The completion of two major bridges on Sheikh Rashid Street and Al Mina Street marks significant progress in the Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project, part of a broader strategy that aims to establish six new pedestrian and cyclist bridges by early 2027. This expansion aligns with Dubai's vision for safer roads, reduced reliance on cars, and increased use of sustainable transport options. Since 2006, RTA's commitment has resulted in a 581% growth in pedestrian infrastructure, contributing to a remarkable 97% reduction in pedestrian fatalities. Future plans include constructing 23 additional bridges by 2030, ensuring Dubai continues its journey towards zero road fatalities.

In an ambitious stride toward improving urban safety and connectivity, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed two vital pedestrian bridges on Sheikh Rashid Street and Al Mina Street as part of the expansive Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project. This undertaking represents just one element of a comprehensive plan that will see the erection of six new pedestrian and cyclist bridges throughout the city. Five are set to open before this year's end, while the sixth is projected for completion in early 2027.

The RTA has further unveiled an extensive roadmap aiming to construct 23 more bridges by the close of this decade-significantly enhancing Dubai’s network for pedestrians and cyclists.

A Leadership Vision for Safer Streets

This monumental development effort underscores Dubai leadership's determination to improve road safety significantly while promoting sustainable transportation methods like walking, cycling, and e-scooter use. Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of RTA’s Board of Executive Directors, emphasized that these projects align directly with directives from city leaders who strive to create safer streets.

The planned structures form an integral part of what can be described as strategic mobility corridors-designed not only around residential areas but also commercial hubs alongside recreational sites within key tourism zones across town-all intended primarily so people may reach their destinations safely whether via foot or bicycle without unnecessarily relying upon automobiles too frequently.
