Dubai Municipality has announced that renovations have begun on the Deira Clocktower roundabout.
To enhance the overall look, flooring with greenery and multicoloured lights will be added to boost the visibility of the water fountain.
Estimated to take three months to complete, the renovations will maintain the historical significance of the roundabout.
Built in 1963, the Deira Clocktower roundabout was one of the most important crossroads in Dubai, and before the construction of the Dubai to Abu Dhabi Road, served as the initial junction for the main highways heading to Dubai.
His Excellency Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality said, "Dubai Municipality has set development plans for all the prominent landmarks across the Emirate, including Deira Clocktower roundabout, which is one of the remarkable memorials and architectural landmarks that city is known for. By maintaining Dubai’s historical and architectural landmarks, and safeguarding them for future generations, this project helps the Municipality to achieve its objectives of implementing high-level sustainable urban planning that will improve the city’s appeal."
