Dubai Announces New Metro Gold Line Project Worth AED 34 Billion

The 42-km transport project will connect 15 key districts of the city and improve accessibility for more than 1.5 million residents.

Dubai has announced the development of one of its largest infrastructure projects in recent years — the Dubai Metro Gold Line, a new metro route stretching 42 kilometres across the emirate.
The project was announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
With a total budget of AED 34 billion, the new metro line will connect 15 strategic districts across Dubai, significantly improving mobility and transport accessibility for around 1.5 million residents.

A Major Expansion of the Dubai Metro Network

Once completed, the new line will become an important part of the Dubai Metro network and will expand its overall length by approximately 35%.
The project forms part of the long-term infrastructure strategy Dubai Rail Network Plan 2032, designed to improve mobility across the city and support Dubai’s continued urban expansion.
The new metro line is also expected to enhance connectivity for 55 major residential and commercial developments currently under construction, further integrating emerging communities into Dubai’s transport system.

Infrastructure as a Driver of Urban Growth

Investment in large-scale infrastructure remains a key pillar of Dubai’s long-term development strategy.
New metro lines not only improve daily mobility for residents and visitors but also create the foundation for the development of new residential districts, business hubs and investment clusters.
According to official announcements, construction of the Dubai Metro Gold Line is scheduled for completion on September 9, 2032.
Speaking about the project, Sheikh Mohammed emphasised that Dubai will continue accelerating infrastructure development as the emirate builds a future-ready city designed for the next generations.
