Road diversions in DIP for Route 2020 Project
dubai — Motorists, take note: There will be diversions on internal roads of the Dubai Investment Park (DIP) and Discovery Gardens in June as part of construction works of the Route 2020 Project.
Maitha bin Adai, CEO of the RTA’s traffic and roads agency, said: “A traffic diversion will be made over two phases on internal roads of the DIP. Part of Street 70 will be closed, existing roundabouts will be upgraded and traffic will be diverted to alternative roads while keeping the private entry points to the buildings open in the said street.”
Phase I of the traffic diversions will start in early June, followed by Phase II in mid-June. These diversions will remain in place pending the completion of the required works.
Bin Adai called on motorists and road users to pay attention to traffic diversions, comply with directional signs for their safety and avoid triggering congestions.
She said “road works will be up and running 24/7 until the completion of all works relating to Route 2020 Project”.
Earlier, the RTA put in place a traffic diversion last March on Ibn Battuta Road (Discovery Gardens). The diversion, which remains in place until December 2019, involves the closure of one of the three lanes extending from Interchange 7 to Interchange 12.
“The RTA is keen on completing the infrastructure of Route 2020 according to plan and schedule. Such compliance will ensure the smooth flow of traffic on public or internal roads of residential complexes and business communities impacted by this strategic project,” she said.
