Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract for constructing internal roads and lighting works at four residential communities of Dubai, namely Margham, Lahbab, Al Lesaily and Hatta. The project, which covers roads extending 37 km in total, also includes road works over 21 km and adding streetlights for existing roads stretching 16 km. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
"The construction of internal roads stems from RTA’s keenness to improve the infrastructure of roads, light and stormwater drainage systems in residential communities. The internal roads project at Margham covers the construction of roads extending 8 km in an area on the Dubai-Al Ain Road, nearby Skydive Dubai. The infrastructure works also include rainwater drainage networks and streetlights. The project serves more than 1100 residents of the neighbourhood,"
said Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors.
"The internal roads project at Lahbab includes paving roads extending 4 km along with infrastructure works of rainwater drainage and streetlights. The scope of the project also covers lighting works of the existing streets extending 2 km at the Dubai-Hatta Road beside Lahbab Camels’ Race Track. The project serves more than 3,000 residents, and improves the linking of the residential area under construction with the roads network,"
Al Tayer commented.
"The internal roads at Al Lesaily span 7 km. The project includes road works at Saih Assalam near Last Exit and Al Qudra Lake over more than 14 km, the project serves about 2,900 residents and improves the entry/exit points of the area,"
he continued.
"The project covers the construction of roads extending 2km at Hatta, specifically at Sa’aeer, Al Salami and Suhaila in addition to infrastructure works that include rainwater drainage and streetlights. The project serves about 6,000 residents and improves the entry/exit points as well as the connection of the residential community under construction with the road network,"
Al Tayer concluded.
