Two main bridges at the intersection of Marrakech-Airport Roads will open to the public in two phases on March 23 and March 30, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced on Wednesday.
The flyover opening tomorrow on March 23 will maker it easier for commuters coming from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Rd and Al Khawaneej heading to Deira as the traffic will be diverted to the new 3-lane bridge.
The second parallel bridge will open to traffic on March 30. The new bridge will serve traffic coming from Deira in the direction of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Rd and Al Khawaneej.
The ramp leading to Airport Terminal 3 will be opened by the end of April 2018.
Eng. Maitha bin Adai, CEO of RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency said, “The improvement of Marrakech-Airport Roads junction includes the construction of two bridges on the Airport Road comprising three lanes in each direction. Works also include constructing a ramp from the bridge leading directly to Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport without waiting at the traffic signal. The project also includes the construction of a two-lane underpass to serve the traffic heading leftward from the Airport Road in the direction of Marrakech Road. The Project will substantially reduce the waiting time at the intersection.
