First phase of tunnelling complete on Dubai Metro Blue Line

The first phase of tunnelling for Dubai's Blue Line Metro project has been completed ahead of schedule, marking a major step in the development of the city's public transportation system. The Blue Line, part of Dubai's broader Metro network, will include 14 new stations and extend the total network to 131km of track once fully operational by 2029. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion by 20% and connects key districts like Mirdif, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai Creek Harbour. The Blue Line is part of Dubai's larger infrastructure goals outlined in the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Additionally, plans for the $9 billion Gold Line, expected to open in 2032, were announced, further expanding the Metro system.
