ABU DHABI - Abu Dhabi General Services Company, Musanada, in collaboration with the Integrated Transport Centre, ITC, has completed all the works of the Al Maqtara-Hamim road traffic safety improvement project extending over 140 km at a total cost of approximately AED40 million.

The project works included improving and increasing the traffic safety by carrying out necessary maintenance on the road surface as well as all road signs, markings, steel and concrete barriers, etc.

In a statement the services company said that the project, kicked off in 2018, was completed in accordance with the planned delivery schedule as per the construction agreed plan. "The scope of work included the construction of a new roundabout close to the petrol station, allowing inbounding motorists from Abu Dhabi to Hamim to make a U-turn while ensuring safety requirements for road users," it stated.

This road improvement project, Musanada said, is aligned with Abu Dhabi Plan aimed to provide an effective, sustainable transport system serving the community and economy of the Emirate and enhancing traffic safety levels, leading to the realisation of the Emirates vision and establishing a sustainable infrastructure in line with highest international standards.
