Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has finished the expansion work at the intersection of Omar bin Al Khattab Street and Al Maktoum Street. This expansion covers an area of 500 meters. As part of the work, a new lane has been added for vehicles going from the Clock Tower Roundabout towards Al Khaleej Street. Another new lane has been added for vehicles going from Al Khaleej Street to the Clock Tower through Omar bin Al Khattab Street. Additionally, the lane going from Al Khaleej Street to Omar bin Al Khattab Street, which then leads to Naif Street, has had its space increased to allow more cars to fit in and move easily. This change will help improve the flow of traffic at this busy intersection.

These changes are part of RTA’s plan to make traffic more efficient and safer for everyone in Dubai. The main goal is to make traffic move more smoothly and quickly. The improvements will also help people move through the area without facing too much traffic.
