Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed major road improvements along the intersection of Al Rebat and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Roads, near Mirdif City Centre.
The revamped section, which includes widened streets and bridges, will open to traffic on Friday, November 20.
Improvement works include the addition of one lane to Al Rebat and Tripoli Streets and the widening of existing bridges.
The project will help enhance the link between Dubai and Sharjah, ease the flow of traffic and improve overall road safety along the corridor.
The RTA had previously improved all intersections along Tripoli Street including the flyover linking with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road, bridges connecting Emirates Road and Nouakchott Street, and a tunnel at the intersection with Algeria St (Mirdif-Al Warqaa).
RTA also completed the construction of a new road extending along the wild area extending from the intersection of Tripoli street and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road up to the Emirates Road. The road, which extends 5.3 km, consists of three lanes in each direction, thus will serve the urbanisation of Wadi Al Shabak area.
