Al Shindagha Tunnel takes drivers from Deira to Bur Dubai and starting today, it’ll be closed for a couple of months
Deira and Bur Dubai have a lot of activity, pretty much all day, every day. So for those who use it to commute regularly, note it’ll be closed for a while. The Roads and Transport Authority are providing you with an alternative!
Instead of the tunnel, the new Infinity Bridge will take you where you need to go instead. The 300-metre bridge has 6 lanes in each direction and is part of the AED 5 billion Shindagha Corridor Project that will extend 13km along Sheikh Rashid Street as well as Al Mina, Al Khaleej, and Cairo streets. Its inauguration didn’t involve thousands of people, just a number of Dubai Rulers! HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum waved to the cyclists as they zoomed by on the bridge. It was a sight to see!
The new bridge can accommodate up to 24,000 vehicles in both directions, each hour. This Al Shindagha Corridor Project will hopefully decrease traffic jams!
