The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have announced that the cycling and running tracks at Mushrif, Midriff and Al Khawaneej had reached 90% of completion and would be fully completed by November.
The project covers cycling lanes extending 32km and is part of a master plan developed by RTA for providing dedicated cycling & running tracks covering the entire Emirate that can be used as environment-friendly mobility means for cycling enthusiasts.
The RTA is planning to construct more cycling tracks extending as long as 234 km during 2018-2021. These lanes will pass through several areas including Al Warqaa, Jumeirah Beach, Nad Al Sheba, Expo 2020, Downtown, Jebel Ali, Al Quoz, Al Karama, Oud Metha, Hor Al Anz, Al Qusais and Al Barsha. This will bring the total length of cycling lanes in Dubai to about 500 km by 2021.
