Dubai: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract for constructing internal roads in three residential communities, namely Al Quoz 2, Nad Al Sheba 2 and Al Barsha South 3. The network, which will span 34.4km, is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. RTA is undertaking this project in response to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the orders of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council.
