In the UAE, a US$ 23.96 million contract to build the Wafi Bridge was recently endorsed by 6700 Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
Wafi Interchange is a heavily-used vital traffic link with several main roads as it intersects with the Sheikh Rashid Road and Oud Metha Road. The new 700-metre long bridge will have three lanes and the capacity to accommodate approximately 3,300 vehicles per hour.
"This project is undertaken as part of RTA 's endeavours to improve and upgrade roads network in the Emirate of Dubai, and is considered a strategic traffic corridor envisaged in the Master Plan of Roads in the Emirate." said Mattar Al Tayer, chairman of the board and executive director of the RTA.
"The new interchange will sort out overlapping traffic issues and ease the traffic flow to all directions in the interchange. The new interchange will result in a smooth traffic movement from Oud Metha Road to the east in the direction of Al Ain, and from Sheikh Rashid Road in the direction of Oud Metha to the west. Such solutions are part of the integrated solutions developed by the RTA to cope with traffic snarls in the Emirate," said Al Tayer.
