A major road upgrade is set to transform daily commutes between Dubai and the northern emirates, with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure announcing a Dh750 million expansion of Emirates Road, one of the UAE’s most vital federal highways.

The Emirates Road Enhancement Project, scheduled to begin in September, will widen a 25-km stretch between Al Badee Interchange in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain from three to five lanes in each direction. The two-year project aims to reduce travel times by up to 45 per cent and alleviate congestion for motorists travelling between Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah.

According to the ministry, the expansion will increase the road’s vehicle capacity by 65 per cent, from 5,400 to 9,000 vehicles per hour in each direction, targeting one of the UAE’s most heavily congested corridors.

As part of the overhaul, six new directional bridges will be constructed at Interchange No. 7, covering a total length of 12.6km. These bridges alone are designed to handle up to 13,200 vehicles per hour. Additionally, the project will include 3.4km of new collector roads on both sides of Emirates Road, improving traffic flow and access to nearby areas.

Officials say the expansion will deliver a significant boost to the UAE’s transport infrastructure and support the country’s broader mobility goals.

“This upgrade will not only ease daily traffic bottlenecks but also improve road safety and connectivity across the northern emirates,” the ministry said in a statement.

Once complete, the enhanced Emirates Road is expected to offer smoother, faster, and safer travel for thousands of daily commuters.
