Roads in Al Qusais 3, Al Quoz 2 and Al Quoz 3 will open shortly, as part of the entire project to pave roads throughout Dubai, at a total cost of about Dh1 billion.

RTA executive director Mattar Al Tayer said by the end of this month, the RTA will open the Internal Roads Project at Al Qusais 3, which spans 225 hectares. The project, which costs Dh23.2 million, includes the pavement of roads stretching six kilometres, roadside parking slots, car parks for the existing mosques, a street lighting network comprising 597 lighting poles all over the district, revamping and linking the rainwater drainage network, protecting the existing utility works in the project area, and the introduction of road markings, traffic signals and artificial humps to ensure the safety of road users in the neighbourhood.

“By mid September, the RTA will open the internal roads project at Al Qouz 3, costing Dh21.7 million. The project, which has hit a completion rate of more than 65 per cent, comprises the pavement of eight km-long roads covering collector roads of seven metres in width, local roads of 6.5 metres in width and roadside parking slots which measure 2.5 metres in width.”

Work was up and running in constructing roads in Al Quoz 2, which was almost 30 per cent complete with the project due to be opened by the end of December, he said.

The project has a price tag of about Dh37.4 million.
