Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed 75% of the construction of the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Corridor improvement project.
The project extends Ras Al Khor Road from the intersection of Dubai Al Ain Road to the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
The improvements include constructing bridges, widening Ras Al Khor Road from three to four lanes in both directions and building two-lane service roads on both sides.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at RTA said, “The project aims to increase the capacity of Ras Al Khor Road to 10,000 vehicles per hour, slash the travel time from 20 minutes to about 7 minutes, enhance traffic safety and flow, and eliminate the existing overlapping traffic spots.”
The project also includes improving the intersection of Nad Al Hamar Road with Ras Al Khor Road to increase its capacity to 30,000 vehicles per hour as well as constructing two-lane bridges to serve the traffic inbound from Nad Al Hamar to Ras Al Khor Road, in the direction of Dubai Al Ain Road.
