The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has launched a new flyover that provides a connection between Ras Al Khor and Nad Al Hamar roads.
As part of the second phase of the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Corridor Improvement Project, a recently opened bridge connects the intersection of Ras Al Khor-Nad Al Hamar roads to the intersection of Ras Al Khor-Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed roads.
Once finished, the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Corridor Improvement Project will increase the capacity of Ras Al Khor Road to accommodate up to 10,000 vehicles per hour, leading to a significant reduction in travel time from 20 minutes to around 7 minutes, while also enhancing traffic flow and safety.
The project involves the construction of a series of bridges and underpasses, spanning a total of 1,471 meters, which will increase the road's capacity to 30,000 vehicles per hour.
According to Mattar Al Tayer, who is the director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at RTA, the project will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will involve widening Ras Al Khor Road over a distance of 8km from the intersection with Dubai-Al Ain Road to the intersection with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Road. The second phase will include building 2km-long bridges and constructing a service road on both sides of the road.
