The CEO also confirmed that the 10th Salik gate in Dubai, situated in Al Safa South, will soon be operational. Another new toll gate, the 9th in the network, is located on Business Bay Crossing along Al Khail Road. Both gates are expected to start operating by the end of November, with an official announcement to be made to the public by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority and Salik PJSC. Last year, Salik witnessed 593 million journeys through its toll gates, generating significant revenue. In the first half of this year, 238.5 million trips were recorded, resulting in Dh1.1 billion in revenue, a 5.6% increase from the same period last year.
