In transport, 11 major road developments are planned, representing AED35 billion in construction capital and covering more than 300km of new and upgraded roads, tunnels, intersections and wider network improvements.

A further AED11 billion has been allocated to five infrastructure projects, including dams, water storage, flood control systems, stormwater upgrades and urban landscaping.

Eight social infrastructure projects account for AED9 billion and include sports facilities, specialist healthcare assets, schools and university campuses.

This announcement comes as the Emirate prepares to host the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026.
