Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed 72% of the construction on internal roads and streetlighting at Margham, Lehbab, Al Lisaili, and Hatta. 

 

The project spans a total distance of 38 km --  19 km of roadwork and the addition of lighting poles along another 19km of existing streets.

 

Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Directors, RTA, said the internal roads project had been undertaken to address the needs of demographic growth and urban expansion, and foster the wellbeing of residents of the emirate. It reflects RTA’s commitment to upgrading the infrastructure of roads, street lights, and rainwater drainage systems in residential communities.

 

The internal roads project at Margham covers the construction of roads extending 5 km along Dubai-Al Ain Road, near Skydive Dubai. Works include road paving, rainwater drainage networks, and streetlights. The project serves more than 11,000 residents, said Al Tayer.

 

The Lehbab project includes paving roads extending 5 km along with infrastructure works of rainwater drainage and streetlights. It also includes lighting works of the existing streets extending 2 km at the Dubai-Hatta Road beside Lehbab Camels’ Race Track. The project serves more than 3,000 residents and improves the linking of the residential district under construction with the road network.

 

The road works at Al Lesaili span 7 km, including street lighting works for the existing roads at Saih Assalam near the Last Exit and Al Qudra Lakes over 14 km. The project serves about 2,900 residents and improves the entry/exit points of the area, stated Al Tayer.

 

The Hatta project covers the construction of roads extending 2 km, specifically at Saa’eer, Al Salami, and Suhaila, and infrastructure works that include rainwater drainage and streetlights. It serves about 6,000 residents and improves the entry/exit points and the connection of the newly developed residential community with the road network, concluded Al Tayer.
