Important: COVID-19 latest updates and guidance
As part of Road and Transportation Authority’s (RTA) efforts to accommodate the many millions who are expected to visit the Dubai Expo 2020 site throughout the exhibition, construction works to complete the metro line expansion (Route 2020 Project) will commence on 5 January 2018 until mid-2019. The planned works will require the suspension of the metro service between Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) and Ibn Battuta stations.
To ensure regular mobility between JLT and Ibn Battuta stations, the RTA will deploy regular free express buses to shuttle commuters between the two stations will depart every 3 minutes during metro service peak hours. DMCC expects some traffic congestions around the JLT metro station until the construction works are completed.
