The UAE government has launched major infrastructure projects worth 1.9 billion UAE dirhams ($272 million) to connect cities and shorten distances across the Emirates.

“With Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, we launched major infrastructure projects worth AED1.9 billion,” tweeted Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

He said three road projects have been launched to connect Sharjah’s Mleiha with Abu Dhabi’s Al Shuwaib; Hatta Dubai with Ajman’s Masfout and Al Qour Mountain in Ras Al Khaimah; and Sharjah’s Al Madam with Hatta Dubai.

“Infrastructure has been steadily developing since the formation of our country and we will continue building the UAE relentlessly,” he said.
