Announcing this, Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), said construction works in the project, estimated to cost Dh450 million, would be completed by the yearend.

This is considered one of the key phases of the Parallel Roads Project, which forms an extension of the Western Parallel Road stretching within JLT district, linking the sprawling property developments of Emaar and Nakheel with Shaikh Zayed and Mohammed bin Zayed roads. The RTA opened Phase III of the Parallel Roads Project in September 2011 serving mega urban developments in areas such as Jebel Ali Racecourse, Emirates Hills, Springs, Meadows, Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Park. The road, which extends about 20km, constitutes 14 per cent of the total Parallel Roads Project, and comprises three to four lanes in each direction as well as six bridges and three underpasses crossing the eastern and western roads.

The RTA had earlier opened Phase I of the project including the roads at Al Barsha, and Al Qouz Industrial and Residential Areas extending from Hessa Road to Meydan Road in the south and 15km of the Eastern Parallel Road and 18km of the Western Parallel Road, comprising three lanes in each direction.
