The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) started Phase I of the dualisation of Seih Assalam Road.
The project falls in a sector stretching 12km from Bab Al Shams Hotel/Dubai International Endurance City to the RA of the Rest Area of the Cycling Track at Al Qudra Road, costing about Dh69 million.
Phase II of the project scheduled to begin shortly, starts from that R/A and extends 20km up to Dubai – Al Ain Road.
Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the RTA, said: “Upgrading Seih Assalam Road project aims to enhance the safe and smooth flow of traffic on the Road.
“It would be widened from Bab Al Shams Hotel to the R/A of the Rest Area of the Cycling Track on Al Qudra Road to comprise two lanes in each direction.
“Works include making three more R/As at junctions, street lighting works, and storm-water drainage network as well as protecting & shifting the existing utility lines. “Metal rails would be erected in the median to fend off casual U-turns, ground markings would be repainted and the existing trees would be protected.”
“RTA would shortly carry out Phase II of Seih Assalam Road running 20k from the R/A of the Rest Area of the Cycling Track up to the Dubai – Al Ain Road. Upon completion, the project will create a key traffic corridor starting from the Dubai International Endurance City up to the R/A of the Rest Area of the Cycling Track, and from there to Dubai – Al Ain Road, or Al Qudra Road; which passes over Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and runs through to Jumeirah.”
RTA has accomplished this year the widening of Al Qudra Road in a sector extending 12km from Jebel Ali-Lehbab junction up to Bab Al Shams R/A, comprising three lanes in each direction at a cost of Dh110 million.
It opened earlier this year Al Qudra Road extending from Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road up to Bab Al Shams R/A.
RTA also opened on January 31 last the new bridge parallel to the old bridge crossing Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road, diverted the cycling track to the new bridge, and erected a protecting boundary wall separating the cycling track from the Road.
On March 31, RTA opened vehicles and camels crossing tunnels on Al Qudra Road.
