Metro rail taking shape

Last updated:

Dubai: The first pier for the Dubai Metro rail has been installed on Shaikh Zayed Road between the 6th and 7th interchanges.

Its construction represents an important event for the project since it is the first structure which can be seen by residents and drivers on Shaikh Zayed Road.

The pier has a diameter of 1.75 metres and a height of 7 metres. A total of 1,205 piers will be erected along the metro's Red Line by mid-2007.

The piling work for pillars is expected to be performed at a rate of one pile per rig per day.
