Dubai-Al Ain Road to be expanded to 12 lane highway

Dubai-Al Ain road is going to be turned into a 12-lane highway. That’s according to the RTA who say the number of lanes in both directions will be increased from 3 to 6. The project, which is set to begin in the third quarter of 2016, and be completed by 2019 will help ease traffic congestion. The road widening will be over the entire stretch between Bu Khadra Interchange where the Dubai-Al Ain road intersects with Ras Al Khor Road, and Al Ruwayyah Interchange at the intersection with Emirates Road covering the majority of the road serving Dubailand.
