In compliance with the orders of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, UAE Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, to keep enhancing the road network to accommodate urbanisation and population expansion, and under His Highness’ supervision, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Majid Al Futtaim Group, has awarded a contract for widening and improving the entrances to Mall of the Emirates and the surrounding streets and intersections. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence. The project, estimated to cost Dhs165 million, also includes bike and pedestrian lanes upgrades.
The Honourable “The project involves the construction of a 300-metre bridge on Sheikh Zayed Road with a single lane, providing direct access to the Mall of the Emirates parking lots for motorists coming from Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali,” stated Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA.
The current ramp at the Umm Suqeim intersection will also be widened southward to make it easier for cars to travel from Umm Suqeim Street to the bridge leading to the mall’s parking lots.
