Hala Al-Khayat (ABU DHABI)
Abu Dhabi Municipality will implement a project to restore the city’s roads, addressing infrastructure, repairing damage caused by traffic accidents, and removing excess vegetation.
The project will be implemented as part of a tender it issued recently.
The municipality is also conducting intensive field visits to all sites, directing contractors and specialised consultants to improve and renovate roadside vegetation, restore the roads, remove debris, and undertake general cleaning.
The importance of the infrastructure projects implemented by the municipality falls within the framework of developing and enhancing the infrastructure system in the city and its suburbs. The infrastructure project aligns with the city’s goal to develop and improve infrastructure in Abu Dhabi city and its suburbs in accordance with the population growth the municipality has witnessed. The project aims to balance infrastructural limitations with population growth and public satisfaction.
Abu Dhabi City Municipality also has several infrastructure projects underway that are expected to be completed this year, including designing and implementing unified signboards on Abu Dhabi Island and the mainland, and designing a comprehensive and sustainable road network system for the mainland.
The municipality is also undertaking a nature renovation project, which includes improving the general appearance of vegetation, removing fallen trees, restoring surface irrigation networks, filling abandoned wells, collecting and disposing of all waste, demolishing certain buildings, and relocating demolition products to approved locations according to conditions adopted by the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer).
By the end of this year, the municipality will complete an improvement study on traffic safety engineering. The first phase involves recording and analysing traffic accident data, identifying the most dangerous areas, preparing proposals to enhance traffic safety based on traffic accident data, updating the pedestrian safety plan, identifying pedestrian bridge and crossing locations, preparing preliminary drawings, obtaining necessary approvals, and preparing execution tender documents.
The second phase includes implementing the engineering recommendations from the first phase. The project components include specialised traffic safety studies for all road users, including motorists, pedestrians, cyclists. Following the study, innovative and modern engineering recommendations will be made, such as constructing additional pedestrian bridges and pedestrian crossings with traffic lights, and remodeling intersections that witness frequent traffic accidents.
