Al Shindagha Tunnel (In Arabic: نفق الشندغة) is a tunnel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1975, it is the oldest and the busiest tunnel where 55,000 vehicle travels through the tunnel both directions daily.[1] It goes under Dubai Creek to connect the neighborhoods of Al Ras, Deira and Al Shindagha where it is the only underwater road crossing Dubai Creek. The tunnel has a total of four lanes (two in each direction), a height clearance of 5 meters and speed is limited at 60 km/h.
Replacement
Due to the aging of the tunnel, the Road and Transport Authority is planning to replace the tunnel with a bridge.[2] The bridge is set to have multiple lanes to improve the flow of traffic.[3]
