Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the construction of road connections in 18 residential areas across the emirate.
The areas include Al Khawaneej 1, Al Barsha South 1, Nad Shamma, Jumeirah 1, Za’abeel 1, Al Rashidiya, Muhaisnah 1, Al Barsha 1, Al Hudaiba, Al Quoz 1, Al Quoz 3, Al Satwa, Al Twar 1, Mirdif, Umm Ramool, Umm Suqeim 1, Al Mizhar 1, and Al Mizhar 2.
The project spans a total length of 13 kilometres and also includes traffic enhancements, as well as the provision of roadside parking spaces, pavements, and street lighting in those areas.
Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said the new connections improve road connectivity and facilitate vehicle access to and from residential areas through the paving of previously unpaved roads. This has also improved traffic flow and reduced journey times by up to 40% in those locations, while providing road users with a smoother and safer driving experience.a
RTA continues its efforts to meet the demands of urban expansion and population growth in the emirate through ongoing road and infrastructure development projects across Dubai. These efforts aim to enhance the emirate’s urban landscape, improve residents’ quality of life, and achieve the highest standards of traffic safety, ensuring Dubai’s roads remain among the most efficient and highest-quality for users.
