I'm on the fence about whether it will work or not, but I think they should have started at peak hours only. Why should you have to pay at 2am?
where is this road?

It's the SZR between Mall of the Emirates and Garhoud Bridge. In fact, it's a toll when you pass one of the toll gates at either end.

Oh, it is amazing how things can be finished on time when it involves revenue generation. Look at how quickly half a dozen parking meters can be installed.
