RTA

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has just opened the last two phases of roads leading to the Expo 2020 site.

The construction work includes a flyover linking Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Expo Road as well as two flyovers on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. 

These ensure a smooth flow of traffic to and from the site of Expo 2020.
