Al Manama Street work completed

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed improvements on Al Manama Street, which is part of the Dubai-Al Ain Road Improvement Project opened in May.

The project entailed the construction of a new traffic corridor linking Al Meydan and Al Manama Streets and crossing over Dubai–Al Ain Road through a flyover of four lanes in each direction.

The scope of the project included stepping up the capacity of the existing Al Manama Street by transforming the first three intersections with Aden Street, Sanaa Street and Nad Al Hamar Street into signalised surface junctions.

It involved increasing traffic lanes to four in each direction up to the intersection with Nad Al Hamar Street. These improvements enhanced the road capacity to 16,000 vehicles per hour in both directions.

The project also entailed upgrading the roundabout at the intersection of Al Manama Street with Nad Al Hamar Street to a signalised junction, designating a minimum of two lanes for left turns in all directions, and a free lane for right turns.
