Dubai has approved a new AED 34 billion metro line, expanding its rail network by 25% as part of long-term urban growth plans.
The Gold Line will span 42km, run up to 40 metres underground and connect 55 major real estate developments across 15 key districts, serving around 1.5 million residents. The project is scheduled for completion in September 2032.
Announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the expansion aligns with Dubai’s strategy to enhance mobility, reduce congestion and support population growth.
The development complements ongoing work on the Blue Line, reinforcing the emirate’s push toward integrated, future-ready transport infrastructure.
