Notable roads such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Rebat Street, Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Street, Al Khail Road, and Al Rasheed Street were attended to. These maintenance initiatives were allocated according to the categorization of each road: highways, freeways, arterial roads, and internal roads.
Nabil Mohammad Saleh, Director of Roads and Facilities Maintenance at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, emphasized, “During the first half of 2023 RTA carried out a series of preventive maintenance works on Dubai’s main and arterial roadways. The main goal of these maintenance works was to sustain the operational condition of these crucial pathways. Among the tasks were refilling paving layers based on the condition of the road, repairing damage caused by natural factors and repaving asphalt roads. Through the use of modern equipment and smart technologies, these measures contribute to extending the road’s lifespan and improving operational efficiency.”
“While undertaking maintenance, RTA provided the highest levels of traffic safety, ensuring smooth traffic flow and reducing congestion. RTA uses cutting-edge technology and adheres to the highest safety and quality standards when performing these maintenance tasks. This method helps to improve road operational efficiency, maintain structural integrity and ensure the well-being and safety of road users,” Saleh added.
