Dubai opens five new bridges to Deira Islands

Staff Report

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority, known as RTA, on Saturday officially opened five new bridges leading to Deira Islands.

Constructed in cooperation with Nakheel, these new roads are connected to an existing bridge crossing over the Dubai Water Canal. They form a key part of the RTA's massive Shindagha Corridor project, which stretches 13km along the Sheikh Rashid, Al Mina, Al Khaleej and Cairo Streets. This mega infrastructure, divided into five phases and expected to be completed in 2030, would cut transit time along the stretch from 104 to only 16 minutes.

“The newly constructed bridges and roads provide access points to and from Deira Islands at the intersection of Al Khaleej-Abu Baker Al
