The study emphasises the critical role of integrating sustainability into the project management process and its implications for the success of UAE sustainable road infrastructure projects. It highlights the need for a comprehensive framework that encompasses environmental, and social dimensions to ensure long-term viability and positive outcomes. By adopting such a framework, project managers can effectively identify and mitigate environmental risks, promote social inclusivity, optimize resource utilization, and enhance the social and environmental value of these projects. The integration of sustainability principles in project management processes facilitates the alignment of project objectives with broader sustainability goals, enabling the UAE to create a resilient and environmentally responsible transportation infrastructure system.
