The entire work is expected to be completed by the end of the year. It is considered a significant step in the country's larger transport modernization effort.

The development of railways has also gained momentum in the UAE. The UAE railway network was launched in February. which is supporting the country's commitment to building state-of-the-art rail infrastructure.
