The plan includes 11 major road development projects, offering AED35 billion (US$10 billion) in construction opportunities, covering over 300 kilometers of new and upgraded roads, tunnels, interchanges, and broader road network improvements. Another AED11 billion (US$3 billion) has been allocated for dam construction, water storage, flood protection systems, stormwater upgrades, and urban landscaping projects. Eight social urban infrastructure projects account for AED9 billion (US$2 billion), including sports facilities, specialized medical assets, schools, and university campuses.

This announcement comes as the emirate prepares to host the 2026 Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit from May 12 to 14 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. The summit is expected to attract over 7,000 attendees, more than 100 speakers, and 90 exhibitors.

In December 2024, Maysarah Eid, Acting Director-General of the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre, stated that the emirate is overseeing more than 600 urban infrastructure projects with a total value exceeding AED200 billion (US$54 billion).
