The project, which was endorsed in a meeting chaired by Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the board and Executive Director of the RTA, has been awarded at a time when construction works of flyovers at the intersection of Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Road are nearing completion.
“The project aims at separating the traffic movement crossing from Shaikh Zayed Road to Al Khail Road from the local traffic movement through constructing flyovers at the intersections of this corridor with the Eastern Parallel Road (Al Asayel Road) and the Western Parallel Road (Al Khail Road 1). Two flyovers will be constructed at each intersection; each flyover consisting of three lanes in each direction. Two more signalised junctions will be made at the intersection with Al Asayel Road and Al Khail Road, to ensure free traffic movement in all directions,” said Al Tayer.
“Service roads and car parks will be constructed at the frontage of business outlets on both roadsides to serve showrooms in Al Barsha and Al Quoz Industrial Areas. The project will also step up the safety levels, thanks to the provision of three bridges, pavements and two signalised pedestrian crossings, in addition to essential services such as street lighting and rainwater drainage,” he said. Al Tayer said the Dh1.925-billion Al Khail Road Project will have an important role in realising RTA’s endeavours to open up auxiliary traffic corridors to the Shaikh Zayed Road and the Emirates Road.
