The Phase 2 of Dh178million Salam Street Project, which opens on May 14, includes crossings for camels, horses and cyclists as well as nine round/abouts.
On Saturday, Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors of Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, announced the opening of the phase II of Seh Al Salam Dual Carriageway Project.
The project that extends 20km from Al Qudra R/A to the intersection of Dubai-Al Ain Road is part of RTA's efforts to step up the traffic safety, and ensure a smooth vehicular flow on the street.
It also includes construction of a key part of the street extending 32km from the Dubai International Endurance City to Al Qudra R/A. "From there the traffic can proceed to Dubai-Al Ain Street or Al Qudra Street passing across the Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road up to Jumeirah," according to Al Tayer.
Al Tayer said: "The widening works have transformed the street into a dual carriageway of two lanes in each direction from Al Qudra R/A, nearby the Cycling Rest Area, up to the intersection of the Dubai-Al Ain Road, passing through Al Lisaili and Al Marmoom.
"The project works also involved the construction of nine round/abouts (R/A) at various intersections. Two crossings have been constructed for camels and two as well for horses in addition to a crossing for cyclists.
Al Tayer added: "Works also included service roads at the residential complex of Al Lisaili, car parks, bus stops with shelters along the street, streetlights and rainwater drainage system. The median will be fitted with rails to fend off casual U-turns."
The RTA started the Phase I of the project over a sector extending 12km from Bab Al Shams Hotel and the Dubai International Endurance City to Al Qudra R/A, nearby the Cycling Rest Area.
Accordingly, the street had been widened to two lanes in each direction, and four R/As had been constructed, at a cost of Dh68million.
