Two new entry points to Al Barsha to be constructed

Dubai: Two new entry points to Al Barsha 1 and 2 communities will be added with the construction of internal roads in the area to bring an end to traffic jams during rush hours.

The new Dh100 million project will provide an additional entry to Al Barsha South 1 from Umm Suqeim Road and another entry to Al Barsha South 2 from Hessa Road. The project comprises the construction of an internal roads network at Al Barsha South 1 (community 671) extending 53 kilometres and the construction of collector roads at Al Barsha South 2 (community 672) extending 7km.

“Constructing internal roads in Al Barsha stems from the commitment of the RTA to improve the infrastructure of roads, lighting, and storm water drainage in residential areas to meet the requirements of urban and demographic expansion in the emirate and cater to the happiness and welfare of people,” said Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Roads and Transport Authority.

For about 18 months, seven-metre-wide internal roads will be constructed and 6.6 metres in local roads. Longitudinal parking slots on both roadsides measuring 2.5 metres in width will also be provided along with lighting works, rainwater drainage works, and other utility works.
