Dubai completes $2.45bn financing for metro extension project - Banking & Finance,Transport,UAE - ArabianBusiness.com
That's very good to hear. Hopefully they will open it up sometime in a few years or so.
Here you can see where the metro red line bridge section has been removed between JLT, and NHT stations. This is where a new conjunction will be added so in the future pax can travel from DXB to DWC without having to change trains.
Once this metro line connection is completed to DWC it will bring a whole new attractiveness, and connectivity to the city. It will certainly persuade many airlines to make the switch from DXB to DWC.
I can see once the DWC metro route is complete, and Expo 2020 is over we will see the world's next biggest building project start. DWC's first terminal, and two mega concourses with a minimum capacity for 120 million pax will get the green light to start, if not sooner.
Now if, and you never know EK, and EY were to merge we could actually see two/three terminals, and four mega concourses being built at once with a pax capacity for 240 million pax plus,. On top of that we already have the existing DWC leisure terminal with a capacity for 26 million pax.
