Dubai to open two new lanes on Emirates Road to cut Sharjah travel times

Dubai plans to open two new lanes on Emirates Road, increasing its capacity from 12,000 to 16,000 vehicles per hour and reducing travel times between Dubai and Sharjah by up to 25 percent. The expansion, part of broader UAE efforts to improve road infrastructure, includes extending the road by 5 kilometers between Sharjah and Wadi Al Amardi.
