The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai will open the Saih Al-Dahal Road Improvement Project next month.
The project will connect Saih Al-Salam Road with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
Instead of the old single-lane road, there is a dual carriageway extending 11 km comprising two lanes in each direction along with a median and three roundabouts to ease the movement in all directions.

The new road will link with the entry points of Al Qudra Lakes and with the opening two-lane road link it will increase traffic capacity from 1,800 vehicles to 4,000 in each direction.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority said that this will ease the mobility of residents and visitors to the oasis “on both sides of the road, desert areas and the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.”
The project complements “a series of projects completed by RTA in the area, such as the 23 km long Dubai Cycling Track (in the direction of the Emirates Road) that will link to the Latifa bint Hamdan Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, Al Barari district and up to Nad Al Sheba community.”

“The cycling track at Saih Al-Salam, which extends about 115 km, is fitted with several amenities including outlets for renting bikes and accessories, a fully-equipped clinic, and 10 rest areas along the cycling path fitted with seats and bike racks,” added Al Tayer.
The RTA has also completed the widening of Saih Al-Salam Road over a 21 km stretch from Al Qudra roundabout, nearby the cycling rest area, up to the intersection with the Dubai-Al Ain Road via Al Lisaili and Al Marmoom while nine roundabouts are being constructed at junctions to ease the traffic flow and enhance the traffic safety of the neighbourhood.
