Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM) has announced that the infrastructure works of a residential city for workers in Al Mafraq will be completed by next month.
The Municipality is building the infrastructure worth Dh651 million and a private company is developing the residential buildings for the workers, a municipality spokesperson said.
Rental
Once construction of the accommodation for the workers is completed, private companies can rent the space for their workers, the spokesperson said.
Information about the size and capacity of workers' accommodation was not available from the municipality.
"Our responsibility is only building the infrastructure for the city which is located between Al Ain-Abu Dhabi highway and Abu Dhabi-Al Ain truck road," the spokesperson said.
