UAE – Mubasher: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Saturday opened Phase 3 and Phase 4 of roads leading to Expo 2020 project to ensure a smooth traffic flow that serves visitors and future projects in the area, according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).
Works include constructing intersections of Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street with both Expo and Al Yalayes Streets.
"Due to the immense nature of the project, it had been divided into six phases to ensure the delivery of all works on the prescribed timeline, well before the opening of Expo,” RTA’s chairman, Mattar Al Tayer, commented.
Phase 3 and 4 will see the construction of bridges and roads, with total investments of AED 1.3 billion.
"Phase 3 of the project covered the construction of a flyover at the intersection of Expo Road with Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan Street, which increases the capacity of the street from 2000 vehicles per hour to 4500 vehicles per hour in an East-West sector of Expo Street," Al Tayer said.
The top official revealed that Phase 4 is aimed at easing traffic flow between Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Al Yalayes Street.
