Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed 67% work on improvements to Al Manama Street and the project is on track for completion in the third quarter of this year. 

 

The project is within the domain of the recently opened Dubai-Al Ain Road Improvement Project. 

The construction includes a new traffic corridor that links Al Meydan Street with Al Manama Street through a bridge of four lanes in each direction with a capacity of 8,000 vehicles per hour per direction.

 

The project also includes construction of slip lanes to link with the Dubai-Al Ain Road. 

 

The work includes increasing the capacity of the existing road by transforming the first three intersections on Al Manama Street with Aden Street, Sanaa Street and Nad Al Hamar Street into signalised surface junctions. It also covers increasing the number of traffic lanes to four in each direction up to the intersection with Nad Al Hamar Street, besides changing some traffic lanes of Aden Street. 

 

These improvements will increase the capacity of the street by 2,000 vehicles per hour per direction, cut the delay rates, and improve the smooth flow of traffic at intersections, said RTA. 

 

RTA had recently opened the improved intersection of Al Manama Street and Sanaa Street. Work is underway in the remaining intersections and the main street, it said. – TradeArabia News Service
