The Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Saturday announced the opening of the Al Yalayis and Al Asayel Streets Improvement Project.
In a khaleejtimes.com report, Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, said the project was undertaken upon directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
The project is meant to “keep pace with the sweeping urban development across Dubai and ease the mobility of people and products.”
Al Tayer said the project increases the intake of Al Yalayis Street to about 20,000 vehicles per hour in both directions and cuts the travel time between Sheikh Zayed Road (7th interchange) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to just four minutes.
