“The project at Makan Community, which has 346 houses constructed by the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment, includes the construction of 8km internal roads, car parks, pavements and street lighting,” said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors of the RTA.
“The project at Nad Al Sheba 4 comprises the construction of 56km roads (50km at Nad Al Sheba 4, District 282, and 6km at Nad Al Sheba 1, District 618) at a width varying from 7.3 metres for collector roads and seven metres for local roads. Works also included street lighting and rainwater drainage system,” added Al Tayer.
Hatta projects
