The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai declared a 50% completion of the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Roads Improvement Corridor. The project, which spans around eight kilometres along Ras Al Khor Rd from the Dubai-Al Ain Road intersection to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, was announced by RTA in a media release.

The upgrading works also involve the construction of two-kilometre-long bridges. Transit times on the key route are projected to be reduced from 20 to seven minutes once completed, according to Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, RTA’s director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors.
