The Municipality and Planning Department Ajman (MPDA) on Sunday opened a new bridge for the public, which links Badr Street with Sheikh Khalifa Street, ensuring smooth flow of traffic movement for motorists on the first working day of the New Year.

The street is one of the busiest roads in the emirate, akin to Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi, the Director-General of the MPDA, said the department would accomplish all vital projects in the emirate to facilitate ease of living for the emirate's residents.

The construction work for the new bridge was entrusted to the Roads and Infrastructure Department, he said.

The bridge was built according to the highest international standards to ensure commuters’ safety, he added.

Abdullah Al-Marzouqi, an engineer and the Director of Roads and Infrastructure Department, lauded the unstinted support of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman, and also the able guidance of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the chairman of MPDA, who are pulling out all the stops to ensure that the emirate offers the best of civic amenities for all its residents.

He said the intersections were built with utmost care.

The civic body authorities have constructed free detour lanes and work is in progress to build more to facilitate uninterrupted traffic movement, he added.
