DUBAI’S Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said it expected the key part of the Parallel Roads at Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) to be completed by the end of this year.
The work comprises Phase Three of the Parallel Roads project costing Dh450 million ($122 million), which has currently reached a completion rate of 75 per cent, said Mattar Al Tayer, chairman of the board and executive director of RTA.
The project forms an extension of the Western Parallel Road stretching within JLT district linking the sprawling property developments of Emaar and Nakheel with Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed bin Zayed Road. The project, which is being constructed by the Italian Todini company, comprises the construction of seven main bridges providing free traffic movement from and to JLT, and the improvement of key roads network in the neighbourhood to accommodate the traffic movement in the area and link it with the main roads in the neighbourhood.
