RTA completes 13km Dubai road project connecting 18 residential areas

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed a project to construct road connections in 18 residential areas across the emirate, with a total length of 13 km.

The project also included traffic enhancements, as well as the provision of roadside parking spaces, pavements, and street lighting in those areas.

The areas include Al Khawaneej 1, Al Barsha South 1, Nad Shamma, Jumeirah 1, Za’abeel 1, Al Rashidiya, Muhaisnah 1, Al Barsha 1, Al Hudaiba, Al Quoz 1, Al Quoz 3, Al Satwa, Al Twar 1, Mirdif, Umm Ramool, Umm Suqeim 1, Al Mizhar 1, and Al Mizhar 2.

Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said the new connections improve road connectivity and facilitate vehicle access to and from residential areas through the paving of previously unpaved roads.

This is set to improve traffic flow and reduce journey times by up to 40 per cent in those locations, while providing road users with a smoother and safer driving experience.

It is also part of a wider aim from the RTA to enhance the emirate’s urban landscape, improve residents’ quality of life, and achieve the highest standards of traffic safety, ensuring Dubai’s roads remain among the most efficient and highest-quality for users.
