The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed asphalt road maintenance and rehabilitation works spanning 17 km across 9 streets and 6 areas in the emirate of Dubai through early June 2026.
The works were carried out as part of the RTA's annual plan for preventive road maintenance, and covered highways, freeways, arterial roads, and internal roads in a number of industrial, commercial, and residential areas, as well as cycling tracks.
The works reflect the RTA's commitment to developing and maintaining Dubai's road network to the highest international standards, keeping pace with population and economic growth, and supporting the emirate's goals of enhancing quality of life, preserving the efficiency and sustainability of roads' operational capacity, and ensuring their structural condition — thereby guaranteeing smooth traffic flow and road user safety across Dubai.
Abdullah Lutah, Director of Road and Facilities Maintenance at the Traffic and Roads Corporation within the RTA, said: "The RTA works on an annual basis to develop proactive plans for assessing road conditions, using the latest laser and artificial intelligence technologies, which include conducting a comprehensive inspection of the road network, identifying levels of damage, cracks, and potholes, and working to remove them periodically."
Lutah added: "The works included the rehabilitation of several streets: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, in addition to arterial streets including Al Khawaneej Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road.
Also included were Baghdad Street, Manama Street, Al Jazayer Street, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street, Al Riyadh Street, Amman Street, Al Wahida Street, Qasr Zabeel Street, as well as internal and industrial areas including: Mirdif, Zabeel First, Margham, Jebel Ali Industrial Second, Al Thaniya Fifth, and Al Qusais."
Lutah added: "During the maintenance works period, the RTA ensures the implementation of traffic diversions based on comprehensive studies in line with best international practices, to guarantee smooth traffic flow."
