Road improvements are underway on Al Thanya Street, a key corridor linking Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced on Friday.
Traffic solutions, scheduled for completion by early September, include upgrading the existing roundabout on Sheikh Zayed Road’s service road leading to Al Thanya Street. RTA is also constructing a signalised junction at the junction of Street 10 and Al Thanya Street, and pedestrian safety will be improved by developing walkways and installing traffic signals.
