Starting partial closure of Al Kafaf parking lot for 45 days
(The closure is required to build a bus station, multi-level parking terminal)
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced a partial closure of the parking space at Al Kafaf, opposite Etisalat building, for 45 days starting from this Friday September 27, 2019. Construction of a bus station and multi-level parking spaces on the upper floors dictate the step.
Works mark the initial phase of the project, which is part of projects serving Expo 2020 and the smooth traffic flow in the area. During this stage, 220 parking slots will be closed. After 45 days, 185 improved surface parking slots will be opened.
In the second phase, which will follow immediately, 95 parking slots will be closed for seven months and work will be completed in June 2020. About 315 parking slots will be provided in the upper levels of the station building, bringing the total to 500 parking slots.
Arrangements have been made to provide alternative parking during the two closures at the space opposite to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs. Al Jafiliya Metro Station can also be used.
Constructing a new bus station and restructuring the parking at Al Kafaf contribute to RTA’s strategy of providing integrated transit systems under the vision of providing safe and smooth transport for all.
