The RTA opened the fifth and final bridge of the World Trade Centre Roundabout project on 30 October. Average delay at the junction drops from 12 minutes to 90 seconds.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) opened the fifth and final bridge of the World Trade Centre Roundabout Development Project on Friday 30 October 2026, so all five bridges, about 5 km in total, are now in service.

The new two lane bridge is about 1 km long and carries 3,000 vehicles an hour. The trip from Al Majlis Street to 2nd December Street drops from 6 minutes to 1 minute, and the average delay at the junction falls from 12 minutes to 90 seconds. The project costs more than AED 696 million.

The junction at the start of Sheikh Zayed Road links DIFC, Downtown, Za'abeel, Satwa and Jumeirah, and easier access supports the offices and homes around it.
