(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) By November this year, the public can expect the Dubai World Trade Centre bridges to be up and running with 90 per cent of the construction work already completed.
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Chairman of the Board and Executive Director Mattar Al Tayer said the completion rate has touched 90 per cent, after he was briefed by engineers. The Project at Zabeel, which costs Dh719.4 million, is expected to be opened in the second half of November.
The project encompasses the construction of 22 bridges of precast concrete units forming a corridor spanning 4,250 metres comprising two lanes in each direction together, with a concrete ramp extending 120 metres to serve the traffic outbound to Al Maktoum Bridge.
Al Tayer inspected project components where construction had been completed, including at most interchanges with main roads such as Shaikh Zayed Road, Shaikh Rashid Road, and Zabeel 2 Road.
"The Trade Centre Bridges Project is by far the largest phase of the Parallel Roads Project. It also includes improving the signal junctions at the intersection of the Trade Centre, in addition to infrastructure and lighting works," said Tayer.
The project also serves the traffic in the opposite direction of Street 312 passing by the Trade Centre heading towards Al Maktoum and Al Garhoud Bridges as well as the Dubai-Al Ain Road. It also includes improving the signal junctions at the intersection of the Trade Centre, in addition to infrastructure and lighting works.
