<\/strong>Dubai\u2019s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded an AED 700 mn (USD 190.6 <\/strong>mn) contract for improvements along Al Khail Road, <\/strong>dubbed Al Khail Road Improvement Project, according to an RTA press release<\/a>. The developments look to keep pace with Dubai\u2019s continued growth and to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. No timeline for the project was revealed as part of the statement. <\/p>\n

Details: <\/strong>The project will see the construction of 3.3k km of new bridges, and upgrades to 6.82k km of roads at seven sites along Al Khail road \u2014 Zabeel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair, and Jumeirah Village Circle, the statement said. <\/p>\n

Why is this important? <\/strong>The artery represents one of Dubai\u2019s \u201ckey traffic corridors,\u201d and supports Sheikh Zayed Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and Emirates Road, RTA Chairman Mattar Al Tayer said. RTA plans to boost the capacity of current intersections and bridges along Al Khail Road by around 19.6k vehicles per hour while also relieving congestion at flyovers. Put together, the refurbishments look to reduce travel times by 30%. <\/p>\n

This is the second major RTA roadworks contract awarded in as many months:<\/strong> The RTA awarded a USD 90 mn contract<\/a> for improvements to the Umm Suqeim Street Project, a 4.6 km stretch connecting Al Khail Road to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, in early January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
