Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a sweeping 15km redevelopment of Al Wasl Road — one of the city’s most critical arteries — slashing travel times by 50% and boosting capacity to 12,000 vehicles per hour. The project, part of Dubai’s AED 16 billion infrastructure push, promises major improvements for residents and unlocks premium real estate investment opportunities along the corridor, particularly in Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City).
Engineering Excellence: Tunnels, Lanes, and Smart Design
Spanning from Umm Suqeim Street to 2nd December Street, the upgrade includes:
- Widening from two to three lanes in each direction
- Five new tunnels (total length: 3,850m) at Al Manara, Umm Al Sheif, Umm Amara, Al Orouba, and Al Safa intersections
- Conversion of Al Satwa roundabout into a signalized junction
- Pedestrian walkways, cycling tracks, and urban green spaces
Investor Upside: Proximity Meets Accessibility
Property values along Al Wasl Road are poised for growth as enhanced connectivity reduces commute friction. Key advantages are —
- Luxury developments like Casa Canal (AED 6M-7M) and Cavalli Couture (AED 6M-11M) now offer faster access to Downtown Dubai (9 minutes) and Dubai Marina.
- MBR City, an AED 30 billion mega-project, gains direct links to Al Khail Road, amplifying its freehold investment appeal for apartments and villas
- Rental yields in areas like City Walk average 5.8-7.2%, with upgraded roads likely driving higher tenant demand
Strategic Context: Dubai’s Infrastructure Surge
This project anchors a broader transport master plan, including:
- Umm Suqeim Street upgrades (capacity surge to 16,000 vehicles/hour)
- Al Qudra Corridor enhancements will decrease travel time from 9.4 to 2.8 minutes
- AED 3.7 billion allocated for 634km of new residential roads
