Widened Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road to open in October

These projects are an integral part of the policy to improve the road network to keep up with the urban and demographic expansion of the Dubai.

The Roads and Transport Authority’s Traffic and Roads Agency has completed the fifth phase of work on the Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road Widening and Improvement project with the improved segment to be fully opened for use in October.

Maitha bint Udai, executive director of the agency, said the work entailed improving a six-kilometre stretch starting from the Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road and Dubai-Al Ain Road interchange. It was widened from two to four lanes in both directions and pavements were added. Besides, traffic signals, lights, rain water drainage and sewage work were also implemented.

Maitha said with the Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road being one of the strategic traffic corridors in the RTA’s master plan of road network, the project will provide alternative routes for motorists heading towards the Jebel Ali Industrial Area and Free Zone and its neighbourhood as well as for those going towards Abu Dhabi or coming from the Capital.

These projects are an integral part of the policy to improve the road network to keep up with the urban and demographic expansion of the Dubai.
