Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced road infrastructure works in Al Khawaneej 2 area, as part of the 5-year plan endorsed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to construct internal roads in several residential areas of Dubai.
The construction of internal roads at Al Khawaneej 2 stems from RTAs commitment towards improving the infrastructure of Dubais residential areas, which covers road construction, street lighting and rainwater drainage systems, said Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the board of executive directors at RTA.
