Diversions in Dubai for work on Route 2020

A series of traffic diversions on roads in Dubai Investments Park and Discovery Gardens have been announced by the Roads and Transport Authority.

The work is being done as the next stage of the Route 2020 Project to link the Expo 2020 site with the Dubai Metro. “The RTA is keen on completing the infrastructures of Route 2020 according to plan and schedule,” said Maitha bin Adai, chief executive of the Traffic and Roads Agency.

“Such compliance will ensure the smooth flow of traffic on public or internal roads of residential complexes and business communities impacted by this project.”

A traffic diversion will be created over two phases on internal roads at DIP.

It will mean part of Street 70 closing, existing roundabouts will be upgraded, and traffic will be diverted to alternative roads while keeping the private entry points to the buildings open on Street 70.

The first diversions will begin in early June, followed by phase two in mid-June.

Diversions will remain in place pending the completion of the works, she said.

“The project teams and associated firms will spare no effort in ensuring the smooth traffic flow and alleviating the impact on residents of the neighbourhood until the completion of all project works,”Ms bin Adai said.
