The road network leading to the Expo 2020 site has just got a step closer to completion with the opening of a main bridge at the intersection of Expo Road and Al Asayel Street.
Expo Road will be raised at the intersection with Al Asayel Street, with a bridge of six lanes in each direction extending 800 metres.
This is the fifth phase of the road infrastructure project which is planned for completion in June.
“RTA has partially opened three lanes in each direction of the bridge on Expo Road. This phase includes the construction of bridges extending 2.6 km and roads spanning about 3 km. Expo Road will be widened to six lanes in each direction over a 3-km sector. Two service roads will be added to ease the present traffic condition,” said His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA.
