RTA starts construction of 700 meter-long Bridge at Wafi Interchange
The underlying objective of the bridge is to minimize the overlapping traffic at the I/C, and ensure better traffic flow in all directions.
“The new bridge will offer smooth movement for vehicles inbound from Oud Metha Road and outbound eastward to Al Ain Exit. It will also improve the traffic flow from the Sheikh Rashid Road to Oud Metha Road in the west (Umm Harir, Oud Metha),” said Engineer Maitha bin Udai, CEO of RTA Traffic & Roads Agency.
“Wafi I/C is one of the key interchanges in the city, linking a number of highways, thus experiencing high traffic intensity. The project, which has been awarded to Dutco Balfour Beatty LLC at a cost of 88 million dirham, is viewed as one of the integrated solutions the RTA is keen to realize in the best shape in concurrence with its strategic vision in dealing with snarls in the Emirate.
