(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to open the Al Wasl Street Bridge on Friday as part of Phase II of Dubai Water Canal Project. The aim is to reduce traffic congestion in the Jumeirah area.
The bridge consists of two lanes in each direction in addition to another lane serving the traffic coming from Al Wasl Street to Al Aathar Street. The bridge passes over the canal at a height of eight metres, allowing free navigational traffic around the clock. The bridge will improve traffic flow on Al Wasl Street, and for vehicles coming from Jumeirah 1 towards Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah 3, Park Street and vice-versa.
"The traffic lights at the intersection of the Park Street with Al Wasl Street will be removed so that traffic moves smoothly on the bridges, and underneath along Al Wasl Street for vehicles coming from the Park Street heading right to Bur Dubai, Al Aathar Street and Jumeirah. After opening Al Wasl Street Bridge, the canal works underneath the bridges will be finalised, sub-roads and sidewalks will be opened, and all traffic diversions will be removed," said Mattar Al Tayer director-general and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Roads and Transport Authority.
