Under the contract awarded by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Parsons will provide comprehensive project management services including design review, procurement support, construction supervision, testing and commissioning oversight, and project handover management.
The Dubai Metro Blue Line, expected to commence operations in 2029, is a key component of Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, which aims to position Dubai among the world’s fastest, safest, and most connected cities by 2033.
“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the RTA and are committed to working with their expert team on expanding the Dubai Metro network in line with the RTA’s goal to provide seamless, safe, and sustainable mobility solutions that cater to the needs of Dubai’s growing population,” said Pierre Santoni, president, infrastructure EMEA at Parsons. “Our team will leverage our 80-plus years of global experience coupled with our local knowledge to deliver a world-class transportation system using the safest methods and most innovative technology available.”
The Dubai Metro Blue Line will span 30km – with 15.5km underground – and include 14 stations, five of which will be underground. The new line will enhance connectivity between key districts, including Mirdif, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Dubai Festival City. Once completed, the line is expected to carry up to 320,000 passengers per day, supporting Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan for sustainable urban mobility.
