Dubai has opened a new 300-metre bridge connecting Sheikh Zayed Road to the Mall of the Emirates, marking a significant step in easing traffic congestion in one of the city’s busiest areas. The bridge, unveiled on Sunday, provides direct access to the popular shopping destination, dramatically reducing travel times.

For motorists coming from Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali, the journey to the mall now takes just one minute, slashing the previous 10-minute drive. In addition, those heading from Umm Suqeim will experience a much quicker commute, as the drive has been cut nearly in half, dropping from 15 minutes to just 8 minutes.

According to Time Out Dubai, this bridge forms part of a larger Dh165 million project aimed at improving traffic flow around the Al Barsha area, home to the Mall of the Emirates. As a result, the new transport link will help ease congestion and offer faster access to one of Dubai’s most iconic malls, which attracts over 40 million visitors annually.

The opening of this bridge represents another key milestone in Dubai’s ongoing efforts to improve its infrastructure and ensure smoother travel for both residents and tourists. Moreover, the project includes upgrades to pedestrian and cycling lanes, enhancing safety and convenience for all.
