A tunnel stretching 1.65 kilometres opened on Al Khaleej Street in Dubai on Sunday, aimed at easing traffic between Infinity Bridge and Deira. The tunnel has three lanes in each direction and can accommodate up to 12,000 vehicles per hour, the emirate's Roads and Transport Authority said. It allows motorists to travel without stopping at traffic signals from the end of the Infinity Bridge ramp in Deira to the intersection of Al Khaleej Street and Al Wuheida Street.
