Ras Al Khor Street upgrade nearly complete
01 March 2019
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that 83 per cent of the work on Ras Al Khor Street Improvement Project (Ex Al Awir Street) and the upgrade of the entrances of the International City has been completed.
The project, which is being completed in co-ordination with the International City main developer Nakheel, had been undertaken as a result of the traffic impact study for International City and Dragon Mart, especially after the expansion of Dragon Mart, and the expected growth of traffic density in the area, it stated.
Mattar Al Tayer, the director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors of RTA said: “Phase Two of the project, which is expected to be opened this March, includes improvements on Al Manama Street and widening of the junctions.”
“Improvements of junctions also include the construction of bridges and signalised junctions enabling movement in all directions,” stated Al Tayer.
The improvements on Al Manama Street–Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road include widening the flyover above Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road from three to four lanes in each direction to increase its capacity from 4,500 to 6,000 vehicles per hour.
