RTA Unveils New 1.8 Km Flyover To Improve Traffic Flow To Dubai Investment Park
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, alongside Etihad Rail, has inaugurated a 1.8 km flyover on Al Yalayis Street. This new infrastructure, featuring three lanes and signal control, aims to improve traffic flow to and from Dubai Investment Park. It includes slip roads for right turns, enhancing access to the park and facilitating exits towards Sheikh Zayed Road.
Etihad Rail is committed to working with UAE authorities to ensure operations meet global standards. Their focus is on providing efficient transport services for goods and passengers in key areas. The flyover's opening will enhance train movement by connecting vital routes, improving mobility to and from Dubai.

This flyover is part of RTA’s efforts to ensure smooth train movement along the UAE's national railway network. Trains travel within the median strip of Al Yalayis Street, maintaining traffic flow by keeping trains and vehicles at the same level but separate. This separation enhances road safety for all users.
The collaboration between RTA and Etihad Rail supports the national railway network, a strategic infrastructure project in the UAE. This network plays a crucial role in developing a sustainable transport system, enabling efficient movement of goods and passengers through modern, safe trains that align with the nation’s development goals.
Plans are underway to extend the flyover towards Jumeirah Golf Estates. This extension will include constructing a two-lane road in each direction. The aim is to further enhance connectivity within the road network, ensuring smooth traffic flow to this important area.
The flyover's construction reflects Etihad Rail's dedication to strengthening social bonds and supporting economic growth across the UAE. By improving goods movement and connectivity, it contributes significantly to the country's comprehensive development drive.
The opening of this flyover highlights RTA's commitment to facilitating seamless train operations on the national railway network. It ensures that both trains and vehicles can move efficiently without interference, thereby optimising traffic management in the area.
This infrastructure project underscores Etihad Rail's ongoing efforts to provide reliable railway services that connect key routes effectively. Such initiatives are vital for enhancing mobility throughout Dubai and beyond.
