The 820-metre Metro link, which opened on Tuesday, will provide a completely air-conditioned passage to the mall with 10 travellators making it faster and easier to reach the mall.
Visitors will enter The Dubai Mall through the Metro link with new retail stores set to open to cater for the 30,000 people expected to use the bridge every day.
“At 820 metres, the Metro link is one of the longest of its kind, linking Dubai Metro with the leading retail and lifestyle destination in Dubai. The direct connection with the Dubai Metro, which is now one of the most popular public transport modes in the city, will help in reducing vehicular traffic, and enable visitors to simply walk across from the station to Downtown Dubai through a temperature-controlled travellator,” said Ahmad Al Matrooshi, managing director, Emaar Properties.
The bridge announced by Emaar Properties will have exit routes along its length and easily accessible staircases.
Al Matrooshi added: “The work has been undertaken in close coordination with the Roads and Transport Authority and the Dubai Police to ensure that traffic in Downtown Dubai has not been affected as work progresses.”
The Metro link has ten travellators -each between 70 to 120 metres in length and 1.4 metres in width, with a central walkway for pedestrian use. At its peak capacity, the Metro link can carry over 13,500 people every hour.
The link is designed in glass, drawing on traditional Arabian architecture styles, enabling spectacular views of Downtown Dubai including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. The ‘Mashrabia’ styled façade and colourful lighting will complement the existing architecture and add to the lively ambience of Emaar Boulevard.
The opening of the link will significantly add to the convenience of visitors visiting Downtown Dubai, which will host a series of celebratory events in December to mark the festive season, including the spectacular New Year’s Eve Gala and Fireworks.
