Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has officially completed the upgrading and improvement works for the Al Manama Street Project. The project featured the construction of a new traffic corridor that links Al Manama and Al Meydan streets, crossing over the Dubai-Al Ain road.
Additionally, the project also constructed a flyover with four lanes in each direction to accommodate the crossover.ย In an effort to increase the capacity of the existing La Manama Street, the project also transformed its first three intersections. As a result, Sanaa Street, Nad Al Hamar Street, and Aden Street were turned into signalized surface junctions.
Furthermore, the junctions have designated a minimum of two lanes for left turns in all directions. Additionally, the project’s scope of work comprised a free lane for right turns, to ensure smoother traffic flow. The free lane for tight turns includes a minimum of three lanes. Lastly, the project also worked on the roundabout at the intersection of Al-Manama Street.
