Infrastructure
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will build bridges over the canal for Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Road. The Sheikh Zayed road bridge will have eight lanes in each direction and three lanes in each direction on Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Road. The crossings will be 8.5 meters above the water to allow boats to pass underneath.[1]
The project also includes three pedestrian crossings in addition to footpaths on all three new bridges and four marina stations for public transport.[1]
As of July 2014, the earthworks for the project near Sheikh Zayed Road have commenced.[2] There are currently diversions in place to help drivers entering or leaving Dubai. [3]
