This public transport project extends from Sheikh Zayed Road to Al Khail Road, with a total length of 4.5 kilometers.
The public transport project includes road widening and the construction of bridges at four intersections along Hessa Street, bringing each direction to 4 lanes. The four public transport intersections are Hessa Street with Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Asayel Street, First Al Khail Street, and Al Khail Road. Among these, a 2-lane directional ramp was constructed at the Sheikh Zayed Road public transport intersection; at the First Al Khail Street public transport intersection, the existing bridge was widened from 3 lanes to 4 lanes in each direction; a new bridge parallel to the existing one was built at the Al Asayel Street public transport intersection; and a direct 2-lane directional ramp was constructed at the Al Khail Road public transport intersection.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority, stated that this public transport project increases Hessa Street's capacity from 8,000 vehicles to 16,000 vehicles per hour in both directions, a rise of 100%. Travel time for public transport trips has been reduced from 15 minutes to 4 minutes.
Hessa Street is one of Dubai's strategic public transport corridors, serving residential and development areas such as Al Sufouh 2, Al Barsha, and Jumeirah Village Circle. By 2030, the population in the service area of the public transport project is expected to exceed 640,000.
The Roads and Transport Authority recently launched the second phase of the Hessa Street Public Transport Development Project, extending from the Al Khail Road public transport intersection to the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Road public transport intersection, with a length of 3 kilometers.
