Street 25, which runs parallel to the Dubai Airport Road, requires immediate attention. This street connects motorists to Airport Road via Marrakech Street and Nad Al Hammar Street. The Emirates Metro Station is located at the end of this street, which means it is also used by a large number of pedestrians.
About six months ago, after the Metro construction was complete, road works began, but they've been left incomplete. Half the street has been left in a dug-up state and there is no tarred road. Motorists have to experience a near off-roading experience and pedestrians struggle to walk on the same street. The road now bears potholes due to rains.
The road is unsafe for motorists and pedestrians alike. The state of the dilapidated road could force motorists to swerve suddenly to avoid potholes, and pedestrians have no option but to walk on the same uneven surface without a footpath. Like me, I am sure all those who use this road would like to request the authorities to expedite the construction of the road at the earliest.
