Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has outlined the route map for Dubai Metro's Blue Line that will connect 14 stations, of which five will be elevated, four underground, two "future elevated" and one underground interchange.

In a video post on X platform, RTA also revealed that the line will cover 14.5 km over ground and 15.5 km under ground. 

Set to open in 2029, the Blue Line aims to hold a capacity exceeding 320,000 passengers per day.

Covering 11,000 square metres alone, the completion of the Blue Line will expand Dubai’s rail network to a total of 131 km, with a combined 78 stations and 168 trains available in Dubai.

The project is part of Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan, which aims to connect areas expected to be home to more than one million residents.
