Expanding a key freight and commuter route
Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) hired CDM Smith to provide design and construction engineering services for the widening of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (formerly Emirates Road), a major freight and commuter route in Eastern Dubai. The route runs from the Arabian Ranches Interchange to the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border. The project also included the development of the Academic City Road extension, which runs parallel for approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles). Our responsibilities were delivered across four phases.
Extending capacity on the growing corridor
In 2016, we widened an additional 13 kilometers of roadway which extended to the Al Maktoum Airport Street Roundabout and completed the Al Houd Roundabout upgrade.
