RTA Is Building A New Blue Line For The Dubai Metro
Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority aims to enhance the quality of life in Dubai by establishing a more interconnected metro system that not only ensures public safety but also significantly decreases commute durations
RTA has issued an official notice inviting contractors to pitch ideas for the construction of a new Blue Line to expand the Dubai Metro route.
According to a report by Middle East Business Intelligence (MEED), the expansion project will connect more stations in the existing Dubai Metro Red and Green Lines and will cover over 30 km of land underground and overground, leading to the construction of 14 new stations, with 5 underground stations and 1 interchange station.
Currently, the Red Line connects old Dubai to new Dubai, from Centrepoint located in Al Rashidiya district to Expo City located in Jebel Ali, while the Green Line connects to the Red Line at Burjuman and features more stations in Old Dubai.
InvesQ Property Brokerage L.L.C, a real estate agency in Dubai, proposed that the Blue Line extend from Muhaisnah to Al Maktoum International Airport, connecting the Red and Green Lines at 4 stations and passing through International City, The Villa and Damac Hills.

Dubai’s metro expansion aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which is designed to accommodate the anticipated population growth of 2.2 million people from 2020 to 2040, ensuring the city can effectively respond to this demographic change.
In December 2022, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, launched the 20-Minutes City Policy that will allow residents to move around the city within 20 minutes by 2040 with the use of a more integrated public transportation system.
