Dubai – Mubasher: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) opened a bridge leading to the Dubai Expo 2020 site as part of phase 5 of the total network roads leading to the site.
The newly opened bridge is at the intersection of Expo Road and Al Asayel Street, according to RTA’s recent statement.
The bridge inaugurated on Saturday comprises three lanes in each direction on Expo Road.
Phase 5, which includes the construction of bridges extending 2.6 kilometres and roads spanning about 3 kilometers, is scheduled to be completed in June 2019, the statement said.
Mattar Al Tayer, the director-general and chairman of the RTA, noted that two service roads will be added to facilitate the present traffic condition.
He added that the improvements will provide free turns and links, ensuring smooth traffic flow around the Expo site.
It is worth noting that the six-month Expo 2020 Dubai will be held on 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021 and is expected to welcome more than 25 million visitors.
