DUBAI: Dubai is planning to build 31 new pedestrian bridges across the city by 2030 as part of its push for safer and smarter mobility.
The new bridges will be placed in key areas where more people need safe access between communities, business hubs, and tourist destinations.
The plan aims to make it easier for residents, workers, and visitors to cross busy roads without taking risks in traffic.
For many people in Dubai, pedestrian bridges are a daily need, especially near metro stations, offices, shopping areas, schools, and crowded roads.

Walking Made Easier Across the City
Authorities said the project will help improve connectivity across Dubai.
This means people will have better access between residential areas, commercial zones, public transport points, and major visitor spots.
The bridges are also expected to support people who prefer walking for short trips.
This can help reduce dependence on cars, especially in areas where services, stations, and workplaces are close to each other.
The expansion also supports cycling and other cleaner ways of moving around the city.
Dubai has been working to make daily travel safer and more convenient as more residents and tourists use public roads and public transport.
Built for a Growing Population
Dubai’s population continues to rise, and the city is preparing its roads and public spaces for heavier daily movement.
More pedestrian bridges can help reduce road accidents involving people crossing streets.
They can also help traffic move more smoothly because fewer people will need to cross at road level in busy areas.
The plan fits Dubai’s wider goal of building a city that is easier to move around, not only for drivers but also for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users.
A Step Toward Smarter Mobility
The new pedestrian bridges are part of Dubai’s larger shift toward safer and more sustainable city planning.
The city has been expanding its pedestrian and mobility infrastructure to match its growth.
By adding more crossings, Dubai aims to create streets that are safer, better connected, and more friendly to people who walk or cycle.
The 31 new bridges planned by 2030 show how the city is preparing for future mobility needs while improving everyday safety for the public.
