Roads & Transport Authority – Mohammed Al Munji:
The Board of Directors of the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), chaired by H.E. Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the RTA, approved the awarding of a contract for constructing Muhaisna 2 Internal Roads Construction Project at a cost of AED104 million. The project is part of the five-year plan (2012 – 2016) endorsed by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, for paving internal roads in a number of residential communities in Dubai Emirate costing about one billion dirham in total.
“Undertaking Muhaisna 2 Internal Roads Construction Project stems from RTA’s commitment to improve roads network to address the requirements of demographic and urban expansion in the Emirate in keeping with RTA’s vision of providing safe and smooth transport for all,” said Al Tayer. “The project comprises constructing roads extending 31 km, repaving existing roads in the area, carrying out improvements of Amman Street, converting some roundabouts into signalized junctions, and erecting fence on the median of Algiers Street as well as designating crossing points for pedestrians in order to improve the traffic movement and road safety. The project also includes providing new parking slots for vehicles and buses all over the area in addition to street lighting works & storm water drainage network. Construction works in the project will start as early as this month and continue for 450 days,” explained Al Tayer.
“The 5-Year Plan for Constructing Internal Roads in Dubai Emirate (2012 – 2016) spans about 16 districts where urbanization rates range from 20 to 80% but might be as low as 5% in some areas. The initial Phase of the plan, which cost about Dhs150m, covered five residential communities namely: Hatta community, Al Qusais 3, Al Qouz 2, 3 and 4. Phase II, which started in 2013 costing about 140 million dirham, covered three residential districts namely: Al Muhaisna 2 and Al Barsha South 1 and 2.

In Phase V, which will start in 2016, road construction works to the tune of 250 million dirham will be undertaken in 3 districts namely: Jebel Ali Industrial, Al Qusais Industrial 3, 4 and 5 in addition to Al Awir 1.
