Dubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai will open a 420-metre-long tunnel on Friday, providing a left-turn from Happiness Street to Al Meydan Street.
The tunnel is part of the recently opened Phase II of the Parallel Roads Improvement Project in the Business Bay District spanning the area between Al Meydan and the Financial Centre Streets and across the Business Bay District.
The project covered the construction of a 240m flyover at the intersection of the Happiness Street and Burj Khalifa Boulevard, and a 535m tunnel at the intersection of the Happiness Street and the Business Bay Street.
The project also included the construction of a 500m bridge along the extension of the Happiness Street crossing over the Dubai Water Canal, and 420m bridge at the intersection of Al Meydan Street and First Al Khail Street, in addition to a 340m tunnel as Horse Crossing at the Dubai Stables.
The opening of the project has contributed to a smooth traffic flow in these areas.
