UAE: New bridge to be completed by 2023; road diversions announced

The Municipality and Planning Department in Ajman announced yesterday that the Ittihad street development project will be completed by October 2023.

Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al Nuaimi, Director General of the Municipality and Planning Department, said that the project includes the construction of a bridge on Al Ittihad Street. This bridge will have three lanes for vehicles coming from Dubai. There will also be a traffic light at the intersection of Al Ittihad Street and Kuwait Street, under the bridge.

Another bridge will be constructed for motorists coming from Al Hassan Bin Al Haitham Street and heading outside the emirate, from the Ajman Industrial Area towards Sharjah.

He added that the project is being executed in line with the strategic goal of developing an integrated infrastructure and strengthening the interconnection between residential communities.

Alternative routes and diversions

Al Nuaimi explained that an alternative diversion has been provided from Al Ittihad Street, which contributes to the flow of traffic and avoided congestion and jams around the clock.
