The Roads and Transport Authority(RTA) of Dubai declared the completion of the Al Jamayel Street Development Project. It is a key project that has significantly enhanced the city’s transportation network. This project is known as the Garn Al Sabkha project, including the construction of four bridges spanning 2,874 meters, with a capacity of 17,600 vehicles per hour.
Facilities Of This Development Project :
This development project included the construction of roads extending over seven kilometers and improvements to surface intersections along the service road parallel to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Additional facilities are the installation of street lighting, traffic signals, traffic management systems, a rainwater drainage network, and an irrigation system.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA said, “Al Jamayel Street is a crucial corridor linking Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, enhancing traffic flow between these major routes via First Al Khail Road and Al Asayel Street. The road runs from the intersection with Sheikh Zayed Road to the intersection with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, passing through First Al Khail Road and Al Asayel Street. It stretches seven kilometers, consisting of four lanes in each direction, and has a capacity of about 16,000 vehicles per hour in both directions,”
Serving Areas And Save Time:
Al Jamayet Street serves several residential and development areas, including Jumeirah Lakes Towers, The Gardens, Al Furjan, Discovery Gardens, Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Park, The Springs, Emirates Hills, Dubai Production City, and Jumeirah Golf Estates. This road saves time for an approximate population of around 250,000 residents of those areas.
Because of this project, travel time saves by 40 percent for traffic from Al Jamayel Street to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road heading towards Al Qusais and Deira, cutting peak travel time from 20 minutes to 12 minutes. It also saves time from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to Al Yalayis Street towards Jebel Ali Port by 70 percent, from 21 minutes to just 7 minutes.
Length Of Four Bridges:
Four bridges of this project make easy traffic flow for many areas. The length of the first bridge spanning 666 meters, eases traffic flow and prevents congestion of vehicles coming from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road onto the service road leading to Jumeirah Golf Estates and Dubai Production City. The second bridge measures 601 meters from Al Jamayel Street eastwards to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, then north towards Al Qusais and Deira. The third bridge length is 664 meters, which supports a smooth traffic flow from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road southwards to Al Yalayis Street towards Jebel Ali Port. The fourth bridge spans 943 meters which connects Al Jamayel Street to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, ensuring smooth traffic flow between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
