Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed construction work on the 3.5km-long Al Roya Street, which directly connects Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street to Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, near Dubai Silicon Oasis and Nad Hessa.
RTA said in a statement that the project will provide direct access to both highways serving the Nad Hessa residential area, Dubai International Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Warsan 4.
The link between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street forms part of RTA’s ongoing road network upgrade to accommodate urban expansion and population growth and strengthen connectivity between residential, commercial and service areas.
The project included converting the existing Department of Knowledge and Human Development roundabout on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street near Dubai International Academic City, Nad Hessa and Dubai Silicon Oasis into a signalized intersection to enhance road safety, as well as developing a 2km-long dedicated cycling track to promote healthy lifestyles and the use of soft mobility modes.
The project will increase traffic capacity on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street by up to 40% and reduce travel time to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street from 10 minutes to 4 minutes, representing a reduction of 60%.
These improvements will allow for smoother traffic flow and improve mobility throughout the area. It is expected to benefit more than 80,000 residents by 2030, according to the statement.
Al Roya Street is one of the emirate’s key road infrastructure projects, serving several major residential areas and service areas, particularly Dubai International Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Nad Hessa and Warsan 4, it added. -TradeArabia News Service
