Residents in Dubai will soon experience enhanced travel convenience as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) completes 72 percent of the construction on internal roads and street lighting along four key routes in the emirate, including Margham, Lehbab, Al Lisaili, and Hatta.
According to the authority, the project spans a total distance of 38 kilometers, with 19 kilometers dedicated to roadwork and an additional 19 kilometers allocated for the installation of lighting poles along existing streets.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Directors, RTA, emphasized that this initiative underscores RTA’s commitment to enhancing the infrastructure of roads, street lighting, and rainwater drainage systems within residential communities, ultimately benefiting the emirate’s residents.
“The internal roads project had been undertaken to address the needs of demographic growth and urban expansion, and foster the wellbeing of residents of the emirate,” HE Al Tayer said in a statement.
