DUBAI, October 3, 2021
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract for the construction of internal roads at Al Barsha South 3 to meet the needs of urbanisation in the area.
The project, which involves the construction of internal roads spanning 6.4 km, is situated at the Mohammed bin Rashid Gardens. It is surrounded by Al Barsha South 2 to the north, Al Hebiah 1 and 4 to the south, Motor City, Sports City and Arjan to the east, and Al Barsha South 4 to the west.
The project works also includes streetlights, car parks and bus stops, said the statement from RTA.
"Constructing internal roads stems from RTA’s keenness to upgrade the basic infrastructure of roads, streetlights and rainwater drainage systems at residential areas. This project, which involves the construction of internal roads spanning 6.4 km, is situated at the Mohammed bin Rashid Gardens," remarked Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, the Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA.
The project facilitates access to the recently developed district of Al Barsha South 3 to serve about 4,500 inhabitants. It improves the connectivity of the area by raising the capacity of entry/exit points of Hessa Street by 1,500 vehicles per hour, said the top official.
RTA intends to undertake the construction of internal roads at Al Quoz 2 in the area between Al Khail and Meydan Roads together with main roads network extending 16 km.
It also plans to carry out infrastructure works that include rainwater drainage network, streetlight works, safe pedestrian lanes and levelling the alleyways between houses, he added.
Al Tayer said RTA is all set to pave internal roads extending 12 km at Nad Al Sheba 2. "This residential community is bordered by three main roads: Dubai – Al Ain Road towards the west, Nad Al Hamar St towards the east and south, and Al Manama St towards the north," he noted.
"Construction works to be carried out include parallel parking, streetlights, rainwater drainage system and sewage network," he added.
