The country has delivered a series of large-scale projects in transport, utility networks and urban development.

UAE infrastructure development projects

In 2025, the United Arab Emirates implemented major infrastructure initiatives across transportation, utilities and city construction, reinforcing its long-term development strategy.

A flagship project is the Etihad Rail high-speed railway linking Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Trains will reach speeds of up to 350 km/h, reducing travel time between the two cities to just 30 minutes. The projected economic impact is estimated at more than $39.5 billion over the next 50 years.

The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre signed public-private partnership contracts worth $6 billion. By October, more than 600 PPP projects were under development.

Dubai launched the reconstruction of Al Fay Street ($408 million), the construction of a 1.4-kilometer bridge providing access to Dubai Islands, and the Tasreef stormwater drainage system ($392 million). Construction continues on the 30-kilometer Blue Line of the Dubai Metro, featuring 14 stations and designed to serve nearly one million people. Power supply projects worth $2.07 billion have also been announced.

Ras Al Khaimah is expanding its aviation infrastructure, with plans to build a VIP terminal and a private aviation hangar. Fujairah has launched a new phase of road works and commissioned a 2.4-gigawatt power plant.

Infrastructure investment remains a core pillar of the UAE’s growth strategy, supporting increased mobility, economic competitiveness and an improved quality of life across all seven emirates.
