Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza)-the flagship free zone subsidiary of global trade enabler DP World has recently commenced the ‘Jafza Bridge’ for traffic, linking Jafza North and Jafza South across Sheikh Zayed road.
The bridge, built in collaboration with the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will facilitate the flow of traffic between Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone, and Al Maktoum International Airport.
It will further enhance the efficacy of the Dubai Logistics Corridor, which links the port, free zone and airport under a unified customs bond, creating one of the most efficient sea-air logistics link in the world.
The Dubai Logistics Corridor, which is a key facet in facilitating container and cargo traffic between Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port, will help reduce the time taken for moving cargo between land, sea and air to less than an hour, shorten the distance and ease traffic congestion, ultimately leading to reduced carbon emissions.
Additionally it will also reduce the cost of logistics and transport, and play a significant role in enhancing trade movement, linking Dubai with the world and facilitate DP World customers’ easy access to their target markets.
