Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said steady progress was being made on the Khawaneej Roads Improvement Project with 37 per cent of the work already completed.

 The scope of work includes the construction of three main interchanges as well as service roads extending 23 km along Khawaneej and Al Amardi streets and three intersections with Algeria Street being upgraded to signalised junctions, said the RTA.

The project includes associated works such as streetlights, rainwater drainage, traffic signs, road marking, and road safety works, it added.

Works completed included improvements of the surface intersection between Al Khawaneej and Al Amardi Street and intersections of Algeria Street at Al Warqaa nearby Uptown Mirdif and Shorooq and Ghoroob Mirdif. Completion reached 39 per cent on the work on the tunnel of Al Khawaneej street, and 15 per cent in the bridge leading to Al Aweer area.

Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, said the project aims to provide a direct link between Aweer and Khawaneej to ease the movement of residents in both directions and enhances the link of the Airport Road with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan and Emirates Roads,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the RTA has opened a pedestrian bridge at Khalid bin Al Waleed Street in Bur Dubai and another one at Al Marabea’ Street in Al Quoz.
