Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, RTA, said: “Al Fay Street Development Project is a pivotal infrastructure initiative within Dubai’s road network. It establishes a new strategic corridor among the emirate’s main roads, significantly enhancing east-west connectivity. Al Fay Street acts as an extension of Al Khail Roads, stretching from its intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to Emirates Road.”
He added that the project will serve many residential and developmental areas, including Dubai Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Production City, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tilal Al Ghaf, Damac Lagoons, The Oasis, and Remraam. It will provide seamless and direct traffic flow along Al Khail Road towards Emirates Road, facilitate movement between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, and ensure smooth and safe mobility for road users.
Upon completion, the project will enhance Al Fay Street’s capacity to accommodate 64,400 vehicles per hour and serve residential and developmental areas, benefiting an estimated population and visitor base of 600,000.
