Ras Al Khor to relieve Dubai’s traffic problems
With an aim to easing growing traffic problems in Dubai, the Municipality has launched a Dh1.85 billion Ras Al Khor road project. This will be Dubai’s biggest road project with regards to the impact on the traffic.It is a comprehensive corridor stretching almost 15km from the new airport tunnel to the first interchange (Defence Roundabout) on Shaikh Zayed Road.
Starting from the first interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road right up to the airport tunnel, there are several junctions, but all allow free flow without traffic lights.
The move comes in line with directives from General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister.
The project involves a fourth crossing over Dubai Creek and an express highway from the first interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road passing through Doha Street and the Jaddaf district and linking the new Ras Al Khor Bridge. Engineer Mattar Al Tayer, deputy director general of Dubai Municipality, said Shaikh Mohammad has shown keenness in the speedy implementation of all ongoing road projects. He has personally studied the preliminary layouts and estimates of the project and given instructions to implement the fifth and sixth contracts of the project by December 2007. Work on these projects will begin in March 2006 and will take 21 months to complete. The project will also involve replacement of the first interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road.
The municipality began work on the Dh388 million first phase of the Ras Al Khor corridor project in February.
Phase one includes construction of the 10-lane and non-open span Ras Al Khor Bridge and the digging of a tunnel on the intersection of Al Rabat Road and Marrakesh Road. The bridge will have five lanes in each direction, with the option for a sixth. An access road wii be built for the Dubai Festival City on the Al Rabat Road, all constituting the second phase of the corridor project.
The Ras Al Khor Bridge will be located 1.5km east of the Al Garhoud Bridge. An interchange will also be built on Shaikh Rashid Road on the Bur Dubai side. Named Al Jaddaf Interchange, it will allow motorists to drive towards the new bridge on the creek. Another interchange will be built on the crossroads of Nad Al Hamar and Al Rabbat Roads to provide motorists free travel up to the Airport Tunnel.
