The new project is a part of a major upgrade for Al Wasl and Jumeirah Streets. The plan will link Jumeirah Street with Al Khail Road and parallel roads with the construction of two-level bridges. The project aims to smooth the movement of traffic from Umm Al Sheef St in the direction of Sheikh Zayed Road up to Latifa bint Hamdan St. The new bridges will be constructed up and down the Red Line of the Dubai Metro but will not affect the operation of the railway. Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General of RTA, said: “The project comprises the construction of a flyover on Latifa bint Hamdan Street intersecting the First Al Khail Road, a signalised at-grade junction underneath the bridge and the improvement of the intersection of Umm Al Sheef Street with Al Wasl Street. “The project also includes the construction of key surface roads, improvement of service roads and landscaping works all along the Sheikh Zayed Road in the sector from Al Safa Interchange to Al Manara Interchange as well as at Umm Al Sheef Street, Latifa bint Hamdan Street and Al Zomorrud Street.” news@7days.ae Read the original story at: Two-level bridges to link Dubai’s Al Safa and Al Manara interchange
