The local DBB Contracting has started work on the estimated AED205m ($56m) contract to upgrade the junction of Al-Qudra Road and the Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road in Dubai.
The junction will be upgraded to a multi-tier flyover providing free traffic movement in all directions with the construction of two additional bridges and ramps. The works also include the widening of connecting streets and a cycling bridge in addition to lighting works, rainwater drainage systems, and utility lines renewal.
The consultant is US-based Parsons. The client is the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
In May, the local Wade Adams Contracting was awarded the contract to build road access bridges to Deira Islands.
The contractor submitted the lowest bid for the contract in late March with a price of AED450m ($123m), about 24 per cent lower than the price submitted by the local DBB Contracting.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is managing the project. Nakheel, the master developer for Deira Islands, is providing the funding.
