In a collaborative effort to enhance city mobility, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Meraas are launching a new 110-metre pedestrian bridge this Tuesday. Stretching from the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station directly to the Coca-Cola Arena at City Walk, the walkway is engineered to handle a flow of up to 10,000 people per hour. By providing a dedicated path for event-goers, the project aims to significantly alleviate traffic congestion and improve road safety by minimizing the need for surface-level street crossings during major concerts and sporting fixtures.

This initiative is a cornerstone of the RTA’s ongoing commitment to improving pedestrian infrastructure across the emirate. Since 2006, Dubai has drastically expanded its network of bridges and tunnels, contributing to a massive reduction in pedestrian fatalities over the last two decades. As part of a larger roadmap that includes the construction of 31 additional pedestrian crossings between 2026 and 2030, this new bridge ensures a safer, more efficient experience for the thousands of visitors who frequent the Coca-Cola Arena annually.
