The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the successful completion of road improvement works on the approaches to the Hatta Souq Roundabout, marking a significant step in enhancing mobility and road safety in the area.
The project aligns with RTA’s broader strategy to improve traffic flow, reduce travel time, and facilitate seamless connectivity for both residents and visitors.
The upgrades included the construction of a 1.0 km service road parallel to Dubai-Hatta Road, directly linking the Hatta Souq Roundabout with the main route. This addition provides smoother access for visitors heading to Hatta Souq and enhances movement between the roundabout and Masfut’s entrance in both directions.
Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, highlighted key infrastructure enhancements, stating,
“Modern lighting units were installed along the road to improve nighttime visibility, and utility services were relocated in coordination with service providers.”
A notable feature of the project is the adoption of the Irish Crossing system for surface water drainage, ensuring road durability and minimizing water accumulation, particularly in adverse weather conditions.
Al Shehhi reaffirmed RTA’s commitment to sustainable development, emphasizing that the enhancements will support Hatta’s growing role as a tourism hub, improve traffic flow, and strengthen connectivity with nearby areas such as Masfut and Al Madam.
By prioritizing infrastructure efficiency and safety, RTA continues to drive progress in Dubai’s transport network, reinforcing Hatta’s position as a key destination for residents and tourists alike.
