New link to end traffic woes on MBZ Road


(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)A road linking the Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) Road with Emirates Road will open on Friday which is expected to ease traffic congestion on MBZ Road significantly.

Al Yalayes Road can be taken from Al Houdh roundabout to enter Emirates Road via the Dubai Investment Park (DIP).

The traffic corridor which spans four lanes in each direction and stretches nine kilometres also provides entry and exit points to the DIP and Jumeirah Golf Estates through signalised roundabouts.

The project also includes the construction of a ramp on the Emirates Road to ease the traffic flow inbound from Jebel Ali heading left towards Sharjah.

Hussain Al Banna Director of Traffic at Roads and Transport Authority's Traffic and Roads Agency said: "This is one of the key projects the RTA has been undertaking for some time. This project has an immense role in diverting a big chunk to vehicular and traffic flow from the MBZ Road which is currently experiencing high traffic volumes to the Emirates Road. The project will thus contribute to improving the traffic movement and reducing delays. The traffic corridor is expected to be used by about 55000 vehicles per day and more than 4000 trucks during the morning peak hours.

"Al Yalayes Road also ... serves newly-developed communities in the emirate such as the DIP and the Jumeirah Golf Estates."
