A fine of not less than Dh50,000 and not more than Dh200,000 will be imposed on anyone who employs domestic help without a work permit
A bridge that links the Dubai Harbour to a major highway will cut travel time from 12 minutes to three, it was announced Sunday. The Dh431-million Dubai Harbour bridge will have two lanes in each direction and connect the residential seafront destination with the Sheikh Zayed Road.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded the contract to construct the 1.5-km bridge, which will have a capacity of 6,000 vehicles per hour in both directions.
Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, said: “The project provides a direct entry/exit for Dubai Harbour to ease the movement of visitors and residents. It extends from the 5th intersection on Sheikh Zayed Road (near the American University in Dubai) to Dubai Harbour Street, passing through 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,” explained Al Tayer.

The authority did not reveal when the project would be completed.
Abdulla Binhabtoor, chief executive officer of Shamal Holding — curator of Dubai Harbour — said the project will provide “free and direct” access to the destination.
Dubai Harbour is located between Bluewaters Island and Palm Jumeirah. The seafront district is home to Skydive Dubai that features a 770-metre runway that extends 550 metres into the Arabian Gulf.
