The Department of Transport will inaugurate Al Qanat street near Al Raha Boulevard street on Friday, May 4.
Signals along 12 intersections will also be activated along the street connecting Khor Al Raha and Raha Mall.
The road passes through Al Seif and Al Dana areas.   
Fully lit with green, environmentally-friendly LED lamps, the street is nearly 2.8km long.
Vehicle capacity along the road can reach up to 2,000 cars in each direction.   

This on the heels of a study which asserted that Al Raha Beach topped the list of highest rated areas in Abu Dhabi - with an overall average rating of 4.12 out of a maximum of 5. The neighbourhood has plenty of green spaces, shops and restaurants.
In addition, it scored highly for the quality of the facilities available to its residents.  
Residents were asked to rate each area on 19 different attributes, including the availability of public transportation, sense of community, facilities, child-friendliness and greenery.
Most parents are likely to give a high priority to factors such as the proximity to schools, sense of community, child-friendliness and security while choosing an area. In terms of these factors, the highest rated areas were Al Raha Beach, Saadiyat Island and Al Karamah.
