Improvement Project to Ease Access on Al Awir Road
After long-standing complaints by residents in international city and connected Al Awir road, more than Dhs 190 m is to be spent on improving the roads. The Roads and Transport Authority has approved a contract for improving Al Awir Road and entrances to International City Project, at a cost of Dhs191 m. The project is in partnership with Nakheel, the manufacturer of International City.
Presently there is an only one entrance used by residents of the International City and visitors to Dragon Mart, which results in jammed pack crowd during the morning and evening times. From last few years, RTA provided an extra signalised entry/exit point at Al Manama Road that has relieved the traffic flow at the main access.
This upgrade project will cover Al Awir Road, Nouakchott Road and the International City at Al Warsan, would increase the intake of roads network, and relieve the flow of traffic within the International City. The project contains improving Al Awir Road in a sector expanding from the crossing of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road to the International City roundabout. A 2 lane flyover will be manufactured at the point of Nouakchott and Al Awir Roads to secure a free traffic movement for the traffic inbound from Nouakchott Road and outbound to Al Awir Road westward.
