The country has created one of the safest environments for residents, but parents must educate children that all strangers cannot be trusted
A bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Harbour will slash travel time to the seafront destination from 12 minutes to three. The 1,500-metre bridge will have two lanes in each direction.
Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), said the bridge will serve as a direct entry/exit point for Dubai Harbour. It can accommodate 6,000 vehicles per hour.
“The bridge extends from the fifth intersection on Sheikh Zayed Road (near the American University in Dubai) to Dubai Harbour Street. It passes by the intersection of Al Naseem Street with Al Falak Street and crosses over the intersection of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street up to Dubai Harbour,” said Al Tayer.
