Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened an 820-meter bridge for cyclists and pedestrians. The bridge links Al Mamzar and Al Khawaneej through Al Nahda.
The crossing gives cyclists and walkers a dedicated route between the two areas. It keeps them away from road traffic for the length of the bridge. That makes the trip simpler for people who travel between nearby communities by bike or on foot.
How the route connects
The bridge joins the existing cycling tracks in Al Khawaneej and Al Warqa. Those tracks continue toward Saih Al Salam on Dubai's eastern side.
This connection is useful because it closes a gap between existing routes. Riders can stay on a dedicated path for more of their journey instead of leaving the cycling network to cross a busy road.
People in Al Mamzar, Al Nahda and Al Khawaneej may benefit most. The link can support short local trips, exercise rides and longer journeys through the wider track network.
What residents should know
The bridge is open to cyclists and pedestrians. People using it should still follow signs on the route, keep to the correct side and slow down near other users.
Cyclists should use lights when visibility is poor and give walkers enough space. Families and slower riders may need extra room, especially when the bridge is busy.
The new link will not replace every road crossing in the area. Its main benefit is a protected connection at this point in the network. That can make an everyday ride feel safer and easier.
For residents who already cycle nearby, the bridge adds another practical route. For people who have not tried the local tracks, it may offer a simpler place to start.
