Starting this Friday, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will open a main traffic diversion on the Latifa Bint Hamdan and First Al Khail roads. The diversions will help the authority complete construction works on bridges and roads under the Umm Al Sheef-Latifa Bint Hamdan streets intersection improvement project.
Maitha bin Adai, CEO of traffic and roads agency, said the traffic diversion will be in place till July 2018, and alternative routes will be provided. The diversion will accommodate the traffic flow on the affected roads.
The RTA will close the lanes on the Latifa Bint Hamdan Street in the direction of First Al Khail Road (at the intersection of Latifa Bint Hamdan Street and First Al Khail Road). Motorists can use the signalised traffic diversion passing through Street 3B and 14A (around the Khaleej Times building).
The RTA will close the U-turn on the Latifa Bint Hamdan Street heading northward to Al Asayel and First Al Khail roads. An alternative U-turn will be provided in the same direction to ease the traffic movement at the intersection on which bridges will be constructed.
The authority will maintain the same number of lanes, with a slight adjustment at the site of the traffic signal "to fend off the turn of heavy vehicles at the intersection of First Al Khail Road and Latifa Bint Hamdan Street", said bin Udai.
An alternative turn will be provided for heavy vehicles at the intersection of First Al Khail Road with Latifa Bint Hamdan Street. Accordingly, the U-turn will be opened for heavy vehicles moving from Al Asayel Road to the First Al Khail Road westward, to ensure a smooth flow of trucks from and to Al Qouz Industrial Area.
"Temporary metal structures have been provided to alert motorists about the permissible heights, and road works in progress at the intersection.
"Due consideration has been given to ensuring smooth traffic movement on the intersection and establishing accessible entry and exit points dedicated to emergency and civil defence vehicles on Latifa Bint Hamdan Street and industrial area workshops during the project construction period.
"The RTA will also make improvements to the intersection of Umm Al Sheef Street with Al Wasl Street. The project includes constructing main surface roads, improving service roads to facilitate the traffic flow on the Sheikh Zayed Road, reducing the traffic density on Al Wasl Street, and saving significant time and efforts of road users," added bin Udai.
