Dubai: A new diversion on the Al Diyafah Road intersection with Al Wasl and Al Mina Roads will start on Friday as part of the Jumeira Roads Improvement Project, said a senior official.
Motorists driving from Al Wasl Road, Jumeira Road and Al Mina Road towards Al Diyafah Road will face diversions which will be in place at least until the end of May.
"Motorists will not face a delay because we have kept the same number of lanes on the diverted roads," said Nabeel Mohammad Saleh, Director of Roads Department at the Traffic and Roads Agency at the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
He said the traffic diversions were necessary to improve the intersection for smooth and safe traffic flow and to improve facilities for pedestrians.
Traffic signals and temporary directional signs have already been installed to streamline the traffic flow.
Saleh called on motorists using the diverted routes to abide by the prescribed speed limits, follow the directional signs on site and use alternative roads so as to ease traffic congestion during the period of construction.
"The RTA is keen to maintain smooth and safe traffic flow and provide temporary alternatives during the project implementation phase so as to ease congestion."
He said the RTA is carrying out road improvement projects all over the city as part of its plan to widen and improve roads in view of the expanding city and subsequent increasing traffic.
