New Dh750m Sharjah-Dubai traffic solution plan: What motorists need to know

Spread the love

For years, motorists travelling between Sharjah and Dubai have faced some of the UAE’s longest daily traffic delays. Now, a major infrastructure programme announced by Sharjah is aiming to change that.

His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has unveiled a package of road projects worth Dh750 million that will introduce new routes into Dubai, expand key traffic corridors and create a direct underground link beneath one of Sharjah’s busiest intersections.

The flagship project is a tunnel that will pass underneath Al Taawun Roundabout, creating a dedicated route for vehicles heading towards Dubai through Al Nahda Bridge. The tunnel is expected to remove a significant volume of through-traffic from surface roads, helping ease congestion in an area that regularly experiences heavy peak-hour delays.

New corridor

Alongside the tunnel, Sharjah is building Noor Road, a new corridor that will connect Al Orooba Street directly with Dubai. Though the competition date is yet to be announced, Sheikh Dr Sultan said Noor Road is scheduled to open before the end of 2026 and is expected to provide motorists with an additional alternative to existing entry points between the two emirates.

The projects form part of a broader strategy to improve traffic across Sharjah’s eastern and central districts while strengthening links with Dubai. Road upgrades will focus on improving access between residential communities, commercial centres and major highways, creating a more efficient network for both daily commuters and businesses.

Transport challenges

Traffic between Sharjah and Dubai remains one of the UAE’s biggest transport challenges, with thousands of residents crossing emirate borders every day for work and education. Officials believe the new projects will help distribute traffic more evenly across the network, reduce pressure on existing bottlenecks and improve journey reliability.

Authorities say the investment is not solely about reducing congestion. The developments are also intended to support future urban growth and improve connectivity.

While construction timelines for some elements are still being finalised, Noor Road is expected to be operational by the end of next year, marking one of the first major milestones in the programme.
