New Dubai road project to expand road capacity from 1,800 to 4,000 vehicles

The RTA of Dubai announced that the Saih Al Dahal Road Improvement Project, which connects Saih Al Salam Road and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, will open in May. The previous single-lane road will be demolished and replaced with an 11-kilometer dual carriageway with two lanes in each direction, a median, and three roundabouts to facilitate traffic flow in all directions. The new route will connect to Al Qudra Lakes' entrance locations. Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority stated that the project aims to increase the road intake from an existing 1800 vehicles to 4000 vehicles in each direction to accommodate the continued growth in traffic volumes and ease the mobility of residents and visitors to the oasis on both sides of the road, desert areas and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. "The project starts from the R/A at the junction of Saih Al-Dahal Road with Saih Al-Salam Road in the North, immediately after Al Qudra Cycling Station, and heads to the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in the South. “It encompasses the construction of a new road of two lanes in each direction together with three R/As along the road to ease the accessibility of road users to the oases on both sides of the road, Al Qudra Lakes, desert areas as well as U-turns,” emphasized Al Tayer. He also mentioned that the project complements a number of RTA projects in the area, including the 23-kilometer Dubai Cycling Track, which connects to an existing cycling track at Saih Al Salam, which runs alongside Al Qudra Road at the Dubai Cycling Track's Gateway in the direction of the Emirates Road. It connects to the Latifa bint Hamdan Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, the Al Barari area, and the Nad Al Sheba community from there. "The cycling track at Saih Al Salam, which extends about 115 km, is fitted with several amenities including outlets for renting bikes and accessories, a fully-equipped clinic, and 10 rest areas along the cycling path fitted with seats and bike racks,” added Al Tayer. The RTA has completed several development projects in the area, including the widening of Saih Al-Salam Road over a 21-kilometer stretch from Al Qudra R/A, near the cycling rest area, to the intersection with the Dubai-Al Ain Road via Al Lisaili and Al Marmoom, via Al Lisaili and Al Marmoom. Nine R/As are being built at intersections to improve traffic flow and traffic safety in the neighborhood. At the Dubai International Endurance Village, the projects included the construction of four camel and horse crossings, a cycling track, service roads, parking spaces, and the extension of the current parking lot, as well as street lighting and rainwater drainage networks.
