Four lanes on the new Al Garhoud Bridge will open to traffic from Saturday, December 15, said a senior official.

“Four lanes on the bridge will be opened from
Bur Dubai to Deira side while the motorists coming from Deira to Bur Dubai will continue to use the old Al Garhoud Bridge,” said Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority.

The new bridge, which consists of 14 lanes, will be fully opened in March next year.

The old bridge will be demolished once the new bridge is fully operational.
