Dubai’s newest bridge in the Al Shindagha area is making a big difference for daily commuters travelling between Sharjah and Dubai. Opened just after the Infinity Bridge heading towards Sheikh Zayed Road, this new route is already cutting down travel times and reducing traffic stress. The bridge connects Al Khaleej Street to Khalid bin Al Waleed Road, which leads directly to popular areas like the Dubai Frame and Al Khail Road. Even though the total distance hasn’t changed, the smooth and steady traffic flow makes it feel a lot quicker. Keep reading to find out all the details you need to know.

Saving On Time, Salik & Fuel
Aside from saving time, the bridge is also helping drivers spend less on tolls and fuel. By skipping multiple Salik gates, many commuters are avoiding daily toll charges that used to pile up during peak hours. And with less time spent stuck in traffic, there’s less fuel wasted, too.
A Note On The Evening Commute
While the new bridge is a game changer in the morning, evenings still see some congestion, especially around the Infinity Bridge and near the exit towards Al Ittihad Road from Al Mamzar. The roads get narrower closer to Sharjah, which slows things down a bit. However, there’s hope that upcoming roadworks – especially on Corniche Street—will soon help ease that pressure too.
This new bridge is already having a big impact by reducing traffic on key routes between Dubai and Sharjah. Many drivers are hopeful that more upgrades like this will follow, making everyday commuting faster, cheaper, and a lot less stressful.
