The Dubai Metro Blue Line project is currently making significant strides toward completion. Construction began in early 2024, and the line is scheduled to be operational by 2029. This 30-kilometer route will connect 14 key stations across Dubai, including important areas such as Marsa, Festival City, and Dubai Creek.
As of now, substantial progress has been reported in various phases of construction. Excavation and tunneling activities are actively underway, particularly in locations critical for the underground sections of the line. The project includes 15.5 kilometers of underground tracks and 14.5 kilometers of elevated sections, highlighted by a notable 1,300-meter viaduct that will traverse Dubai Creek
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has stated that preliminary construction works, including site preparation and utility diversions, are nearing completion. They are utilizing advanced construction techniques to minimize disruptions to the surrounding infrastructure.
Once completed, the Blue Line is expected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers daily, with the capacity projected to rise to 320,000 by 2040 as demand grows. This expansion is part of Dubai’s broader strategy to enhance its public transportation network and support sustainable urban development.
