Partial closure of parking spaces at Satwa, Oud Metha to undertake transit projects
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has started a partial closure of the parking spaces nearby Satwa Bus Station and Oud Metha Metro Station to give way for the construction of a bus station and a multi-level parking terminal. The closure, which starts today (Thursday) November 14,2019. will continue to the end of October 2020.
The closure of the parking space at Satwa Bus Station will be implemented over two phases. The first phase, which starts (Thursday) November 14 and will continue to the end of October 2020, covers the closure of 84 parking slots and leaves 131 parking slots open. The second phase starts afterwards and covers the closure of the remaining 131 parking slots, but 29 surface parking spaces nearby will be available.
The parking space at Oud Metha Metro Station will also be partially closed during the same period, and motorists will have an alternative of using about 500 parking slots in the area.
The construction of new bus stations and restructuring of parking spaces at Satwa and Oud Metha adds to the integrated infrastructure of traffic, and contributes to RTA’s vision: ‘Safe and Smooth Transport for All’.
