The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai,UAE, has opened a new bridge at the intersection of Al Qudra Road and Lehbab Road, comprising three lanes in each direction, to help ease the traffic flow from the Emirates Road to Seih Assalam.

The opening of the bridge comes shortly after the opening of Al Qudra Road extending 12 km from Jebel Ali-Lehbab intersection to Bab Al Shams Roundabout, said a statement from RTA.

Maitha bin Udai, the chief executive of RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, said: "The bridge is important for Qudra Road, which has become a key hub for the traffic movement inbound from Jumeirah via Umm Suqeim, then passing through the flyover of Al Khail Road to link with the Arabian Ranches Interchange on the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road."

"The design of the bridge focuses on ensuring highest safety standards for all road users, especially in the sector from Jebel Ali-Lehbab junction up to Bab Al Shams roundabout. In line with this, a special lane on this bridge has been dedicated for cyclists," she added.-TradeArabia News Service
