THE travel time on Dubai’s Al Khail Road will be slashed by 30 per cent as a new mega project was announced on February 25. The Al Khail Road improvement project will see five new flyovers and bridges constructed, eliminating traffic congestions along the highway.
Road improvement works will be carried out in multiple locations including Zabeel, Meydan, Al Quoz 1, Ghadeer Al Tair and Jumeirah Village Circle. The contract for the project has been awarded.
Al Khail Road is one of Dubai’s key traffic corridors stretching from the Business Bay crossing to its junction with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, encompassing six lanes in each direction.
The improvement project will enhance the capacity of roads that run parallel to and support Sheikh Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed and Emirates roads, according to Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
