In response to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice ‎President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai; and His Highness Sheikh ‎Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the ‎Executive Council, to develop the infrastructure of residential and industrial areas, address the ‎needs of demographic and urban expansion, and foster the wellbeing and happiness of the residents, Dubai’s ‎Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract for constructing internal roads and ‎lighting works in Al Qusais Industrial Area 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The project encompasses the ‎construction of 32 roads spanning 10 km, and streetlights stretching approximately 43 km. The ‎project will boost the road intake by 200% (from 500 to 1,500 vehicles per hour in both ‎directions), and reduce the journey time by 60%.‎

His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive ‎Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority, said:

"The construction of internal roads reflects ‎RTA’s keenness to upgrade the infrastructure of roads, streetlights, and rainwater drainage ‎systems in residential and industrial communities. The internal roads project in Al Qusais ‎Industrial Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 improves the linking of Al Qusais Industrial Areas, which are ‎served by four main streets, namely Amman Street, Beirut Street, Halab Street, and Damascus ‎Street. It improves the entrances and exits for 320 workshops, 25 residential buildings, shops, ‎and educational zones. The population of the area is estimated at 60,000 people".‎

Works Underway

‎"RTA is currently working on the internal road and lighting in four residential areas, namely ‎Margham, Lehbab, Al Lisaili, and Hatta, spanning about 37 km in total (21 km of road works ‎and 16 km of streetlights on existing streets). The project is planned for completion by the end of ‎this year. The internal roads project in Margham covers the construction of roads extending 8 km ‎along the Dubai-Al Ain Road, near Skydive Dubai, along with infrastructure works that include ‎rainwater drainage networks and streetlights. The project serves more than 1,100 residents of the ‎neighborhood,"

explained Al Tayer.‎
