Highway is the main road artery running through the emirate
The Roads & Transport Authority has invited consultants to take part in a design competition for increasing the capacity of Dubais Sheikh Zayed Road.
The deadline for entries is understood to be in late March. The competition is separate to earlier plans for the double-decking of Sheikh Zayed road, for which consultants submitted offers in 2014.
At the time, that large-scale infrastructure project was one of the most ambitious in the emirate and was expected to cost more than AED10bn ($2.7bn) to build.
The RTA had shortlisted three consultants. They were:
- Aecom (US)
- KEO International Consultants (local office)
- Parsons International (US)
Sheikh Zayed Road is the main highway running through Dubai and frequently experiences heavy traffic for up to 10 hours a day.
