Dubai launched a new 30-kilometre metro line project at an estimated cost of AED 18 billion ($5 billion), as announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the ruler of Dubai on Friday in a tweet on “X” platform.
According to the project graphic, the tender for the 78-station project will be tabled this year, with tunneling activities set to begin in 2025 and the official start of operation in 2029.
Dubai’s economy grew during the first half of this year by 3.2%, with direct support from the transport and warehousing sector in general and air transport in particular.
Dubai, which hosted the Expo two years ago, is rapidly strengthening its infrastructure amid the growing demand for foreigners to work and live there, contributing to sharp increases in real estate prices and sales over the past two years.
