New road opens at Expo site

A new bridge has opened at the intersection of Expo Road and Al Asayel Street.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) says the road, which currently has three lanes, will be widened to six lanes in each direction by June.

It'll ensure smooth traffic flow to and from the Expo site.

Expo 2020 DubAI will attract about 25 million visitors, 70% of those from abroad.

The RTA says it has set comprehensive plans to meet the needs of hosting the mega event and ensuring the smooth mobility of visitors.
