Dubai’s Al Quoz just got a major glow-up — and it’s all about art, walking, and cycling.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened a new mural-painted pedestrian and cycling bridge on Al Manara Street, along with 4 kilometres of dedicated tracks and three new mobility hubs. The upgrades are part of a bigger plan to make Al Quoz Creative Zone easier to explore without a car.
A Bridge That Doubles as Public Art
The new bridge stretches 45 metres across Al Manara Street and is wrapped in bold mural panels that match Al Quoz’s creative identity. It’s wide enough for both pedestrians and cyclists, with two long access ramps making it easy to use for daily commutes or casual rides.
Think functional infrastructure — but make it artsy.
4km of Tracks and New Mobility Hubs
Alongside the bridge, RTA rolled out 4km of pedestrian, cycling, and soft mobility tracks, plus three integrated mobility hubs. These connect Al Quoz Creative Zone with key transport points like Onpassive Metro Station and Al Quoz Bus Station, making movement smoother for residents, artists, and visitors.
The goal: fewer cars, more walking, cycling, and easy connections.
Streets Go Car-Free for Al Quoz Arts Festival
Some streets in the area will temporarily turn into pedestrian-only zones during the Al Quoz Arts Festival happening on January 24 and 25. The move allows streets to double as open-air cultural spaces — perfect for art shows, performances, and community events.
It’s part of RTA’s push to design flexible urban spaces that can shift from traffic routes to cultural hubs when needed.
Part of Dubai’s 20-Minute City Vision
According to RTA, the project supports Dubai’s 20-Minute City concept, encouraging people to reach daily destinations by foot, bike, or public transport. Officials say it will help cut reliance on private cars, improve urban mobility, and support a more sustainable, low-carbon lifestyle.
Dubai Culture also says the upgrades strengthen Al Quoz’s position as a year-round destination for creative, cultural, and recreational experiences — especially for young talent and emerging artists.
