New and improved Garhoud Bridge is all set to today

Giving a much-needed respite to the thousands of motorists, particularly those travelling from Dubai to Sharjah and back, the new and improved Garhoud Bridge is all set to open on Saturday, the RTA has confirmed.

"The good thing about the bridge is the number of lanes. The new bridge will have a total of 14 lanes, seven for traffic bound from Bur Dubai to Deira and seven for traffic heading from Deira to Bur Dubai. These lanes would ensure movement of a greater number of vehicles passing through the bridge. There would be 16,000 vehicles crossing the new bridge every hour, unlike the old bridge which had a capacity to carry only 8,000 vehicles an hour," said an RTA official. Source
