The road infrastructure in Al Khawaneej 2 area will get a boost with the construction of new roads extending 77km, according to the board of executive directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The development is part of the five-year plan endorsed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to construct roads in residential areas of Dubai.

"The construction of roads at Al Khawaneej 2 stems from RTA's commitment towards improving the infrastructure of Dubai's residential areas, which covers road construction, street lighting and rainwater drainage systems. Such works are a necessity due to the demographic and urban expansion, and contributes to the general welfare and happiness of the people," said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors.

"The new project covers the construction of roads network spanning 77km, comprising 68km of single roads and 9km of collector dual carriageways. It also includes the construction of roads along with the associated infrastructure works, which includes rainwater drainage network, enhancements to the electricity and water networks, and street lighting.
"The RTA is also progressing in the construction of roads for the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment project at Oud Al Mateena 1 extending 7km. The project also includes street lights, roadside parkings and pedestrian walkways, and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019," said Al Tayer.
"The RTA is currently also undertaking the initial phase of the roads project at Sama Al Jaddaf extending 12km. Several junctions will be constructed, including two signalised junctions and street lighting works. The project aims to improve roads network in the area and link it with the surrounding roads such as Al Khail Road to the south and Sheikh Rashid Street to the north, besides ensuring smooth traffic flow in the area," concluded Al Tayer.  reporters@khaleejtimes.com

The roads project at the Makan Community, Hatta which has 346 houses built by Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, included the construction of 8km internal roads, car parks, pavements and street-lighting," said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors.
