Several streets and two tunnels have been built as part of the Rashid Hospital Tunnels Project, aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the area of Shaikh Rashid Hospital, RTA executive director Mattar Al Tayer said in a press release.
“The intake of roads within the project realms is set to increase upon the project completion to as much as 6,000 vehicles per hour,” he said.
The project would ease traffic coming from Tariq bin Ziyad and Umm Harir streets heading towards the intersection of Al Riyadh Street with the extension of the Floating Bridge, he said.
“The first tunnel passes from Tariq bin Ziyad Street under the Al Maktoum Bridge, and the other one — which is inbound from Umm Harir Street — passes across Oud Metha Park. Both the two-way tunnels merge to form a four-lane street heading towards Al Riyadh Street via Rashid Hospital. The project also encompasses converting the intersection of Riyadh Street with the extension of the Floating Bridge into a four-lane passageway, widening the Tariq bin Ziyad Street, improving Oud Metha and Umm Harir Streets, and constructing a street to handle the traffic coming from the Floating Bridge and heading towards Tariq bin Ziyad Street.”
The project is one of several in the Bur Dubai area designed to cope with increasing traffic flows, including the Floating Bridge near the Dubai Golf Club, the widening of Al Maktoum Bridge and Khalid bin Al Waleed Street.
“The RTA is following up improvement works on several main roads in Dubai as part of a series of vital projects underway aimed at improving roads and providing advanced services in residential districts to bring them in line with RTA’s strategy and its ongoing endeavours to match the urbanisation drive and serve the requirements of growth as well as the needs of the demographic expansion in the emirate,” Al Tayer said.
