The Board of Executive Directors of Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), chaired by Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, awarded AED375 million contract for the construction of tunnels and roads leading to the Jewel of the Creek Project.
The awarding of the contract was coordinated with the Dubai International Real Estate Company (DIRE). The Jewel of the Creek iconic project, which sits between Al Maktoum and the Floating Bridges, has been designed as a landmark tourist destination adding further prominence to the city and the tourist profile of the area.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General of RTA and Khalil Al Sayegh, Director-General of DIRE, signed the memorandum of understanding for funding the construction of tunnels and roads leading to the project, which is set for completion during first half of 2019.
“The project construction works have recently been started, and primarily aimed to provide entry and exit points linking with the ground and basement access points of the project. Specifically, it provides roads, subways and slipways linking the ground level and the basement parking of the project with the roads and transport network of Baniyas Road to the north, and Al Ittihad Road to the East,†said Al Tayer.
