UAE – Mubasher: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that almost 90% of construction work of Tripoli Street Improvement Project is completed.
The project is scheduled for opening by the end of June 2019, according to a press release.
Tripoli Street Improvement Project is a 12-kilometre street that links Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road and acts as a parallel route to the recently re-opened Airport Street Improvement Project, RTA said.
The project is being implemented under the directives of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in line with the five-year Plan of Roads and Transport Projects to maintain sustainable development in Dubai.
“The project will enhance the link between Dubai and Sharjah, ease traffic movement and streamline the access to Warqaa and Mirdif districts. It will also improve the traffic safety at the intersections with Rabat and Nad Al Hamar Streets nearby of Bel Remaitha Club,” Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of RTA said.
Al Tayer also noted that the project will boost traffic flow to 12,000 vehicles per hour in both directions and diminish traffic volumes by 30%.
He highlighted that the project will act as a parallel to Al Amardi–Al Khawaneej and Al Awir - Ras Al Khor traffic corridors.
“Completion rate has reached 92% in the bridge at the intersection of Tripoli-Nouakchott Streets, and 75% in the tunnel at the intersection of Tripoli-Algeria Streets (Mirdif-Warqaa),” Al Tayer said.
