In a significant move to enhance transportation in Dubai, a remarkable project is set to transform Hessa Street. This development, with an estimated cost of AED689 million, aims to bolster the road’s capacity, making travel smoother and more convenient for the public. The project encompasses several exciting upgrades, including expanding the number of lanes and introducing a 13.5 km bicycle track.
The Hessa Street Project
The Dubai Roads & Transport Authority recently announced the contract for the Hessa Street improvement project. Spanning a 4.5 km stretch, the project focuses on the area between the intersections of Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Four crucial intersections along this route will undergo development: Sheikh Zayed Road, First Al Khail Street, Al Asayel Street, and Al Khail Street. One of the significant enhancements includes increasing the number of lanes from the current two lanes to an impressive four lanes in each direction.
Pedaling Forward: A New Cycle Path
Apart from expanding Hessa Street’s capacity by 100%, the project also includes the addition of a 13.5 km cycle path. This initiative is a boon for cycling enthusiasts and those seeking eco-friendly transportation alternatives. The project’s positive impact extends to several residential and development areas, benefiting communities in Al Sufouh II, Al Barsha, and Jumeirah Village Circle.
