According to the RTA, the project will improve the connectivity of four highways: Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and Emirates Road. It will also include an 800-meter tunnel of four lanes in each direction.
Because of this, the improved Umm Suqeim road will soon be able to accommodate over 16,000 vehicles per hour in both directions, ensuring a smoother flow of traffic.
The road project, which is expected to cost AED 332 million, will benefit residential and development areas with an estimated two million population.
