Parallel Roads project finalised
To be constructed at a cost of AED 1.855.836.000 (around USD 50 millions), Phase IV is the biggest part of the 9-contact Parallel Roads Project. Four contracts have been awarded and 3 are still under construction.
This passageway covers108 km stretching from Sheikh Rashid Road (to the north) and terminating at the outskirts of the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The project consists of bridges and intersections between parallel and perpendicular roads in a sector extending 42 km. It also includes two corridors to support Sheikh Zayed Road, which is witnessing intensive traffic triggered by a series of massive development projects spanning along this vital road. Following these works, the intake of both roads is expected to rise to 18000 vehicles per hour.
"In coordination with Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), RTA managed to separate Inter-Free Zones traffic at both sides of the Project from the bypassing road, said Al-Tayer.
"Upon completion of bridges linking Free Zones and areas covered by the Contract, the Project will help in cutting short trip time for trucks, minimizing truck density on nearby roads and providing better flow of traffic on these roads," he added.
Work, he said, is progressing according to schedule in other phases of Project. Construction works in the first Contract of the Project are set to be completed in February 2009, covering road construction in Al Barsha and Al-Quoz Industrial Area. This Phase, which costs around Dh600 million, extends from Jebel Racecourse up to Muscat Road, with a total length of 13 km spanning both Western Parallel Road and Eastern Parallel Road.
Eastern & Western Parallel Roads, consisting of three lanes in each direction, pass across Al Barsha residential area and Al Quoz Industrial Area. The Project also comprises two flyovers and 17 light signal-controlled intersections, and works necessary for all services such as irrigation, sewage, lighting, and traffic & directional signage.
Phase II of Parallel Roads Project, costing about Dh693 million & cantered on Za'abeel area, comprises construction of elevated roads including 19 bridges made of pre cast concrete segments. It extends 4236 meters in length and 14.7 meters in width, and links with the terminal point of the Western Parallel Road, prior to Za'abeel Road 2. It extends in an elevated road alongside the boundary of Za'abeel Park to link with Sheikh Rashid Road near Al Qatta'iyat Road, thereby providing a direct link between Al Garhoud Bridge and the Western Parallel Road.
The Project, in which construction works started on 12 November 2007, comprises various works such as paving, lighting, traffic signals, traffic signs ... etc. The remaining phases of the project are now under initial design and tendering processes. The cost of the two contracts of Phase III (A & B) of these roads parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road reached Dh1.399.173.000 and will be completed in two years. The Contract under Phase III (A) costing Dh449.233.000 had been awarded to Todini Co. and will be completed in 600 days.
Al Tayer further added: "The Project is located in Jumeirah Lake Towers area and links vast expanses of property complexes of Emaar and Nakheel towards the southern part of Sheikh Zayed Road between Interchanges 5 and 5.5. It comprises constructing a 10 km road of 6 lanes, 5 bridges and 2 underpasses in addition to construction-related activities such as facilities, pavements, signage, road markings, lighting, traffic diversions and protecting the existing utility lines. This Phase comprises 6% of the total Parallel Roads Project.
"Phase III of the Project, costing about 950 million dirham, was awarded to Al Naboodah Contracting Co. and will be constructed in 730 days. The road project passes across huge property developments in the vicinity of Jebel Ali Racecourse such as Emirates Hills, The Springs, Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Park and Metro Planned areas.
"This Phase includes construction of a 20 km long road, comprising 14% of the Parallel Roads Project. It consists of 3 lanes in each direction and involves construction of 10 bridges, and 4 underpasses in addition to facilities, pavements, signage, road markings, lighting, traffic diversions and protecting the existing utility lines.
