New road to The Galleries open

Limitless, the developer, yesterday announced the completion of a slip road, which is now open to motorists on Sheikh Zayed Road's northbound (Dubai-bound) carriageway to drive straight into The Galleries.

The link is part of a major new junction on Sheikh Zayed Road – Interchange 8 – that will serve Downtown Jebel Ali and the Jebel Ali Free Zone when it is fully operational.

Interchange 8 will open in summer, according to the Dubai RTA. Meanwhile, Downtown Jebel Ali's interior road network is also taking shape as Limitless continues its infrastructure delivery, it added in a statement.

Salah Ameen, Executive Director for Limitless in the Middle East, said: "We welcome the opening of the northbound slip road, which means shorter journeys, lower fuel consumption and, most importantly, more convenience for our tenants and visitors. These benefits will be further enhanced when Interchange 8 is fully operational, as southbound traffic will also have direct access to and from The Galleries."
