Thanks to the unlimited support of His Highness Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, the Emirate of Ajman has witnessed many achievements in the roads sector this year.
His direct supervision of plans, visions and scenarios for developing streets, roads and bridges in accordance with the highest international standards has been instrumental in these successes. These efforts have transformed Ajman into a city of comprehensive development and urban renaissance.
Ajman is currently experiencing a significant expansion in its road infrastructure, with numerous projects being developed by the Department of Municipality and Planning.
The department completed two projects with the objective of developing three streets in the emirate, at a cost of Dhs170 million.
The initial phase encompassed the development of Al Salam and Sheikh Zayed Streets, while the subsequent phase involved the development of Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street.
This initiative aligns with the strategic objective of developing an integrated infrastructure and strengthening the links between its components and residential communities, as outlined in the emirate's updated strategic infrastructure plan.
These projects form part of the department's comprehensive and intentional development plans, which aim to improve quality of life and community happiness.
The plans also seek to increase street capacity and efficiency, ensuring that residents and visitors can reach their desired destinations quickly and safely.
The emirate has experienced development and prosperity across all sectors.
The department has completed two groups of single-lane asphalt roads, one in the Rawda 2 area and one in the Al Muwaihat 1 area, both costing Dhs5 million.
The department also completed the first phase of the Ajman Industrial Roads Development and Maintenance Project, costing Dhs26 million.
These projects are in line with Ajman Vision 2030, which aims to build an integrated, sustainable transport system by improving the quality and connectivity of infrastructure.
Furthermore, Ajman has experienced a significant transformation in the development of its road network, with the construction of new internal and external roads connecting the emirate's streets, streamlining traffic, alleviating congestion and ensuring safe and easy access to all destinations.
Over the past two years, the municipality has completed 35 projects at a cost of Dhs300 million.
Ajman's development efforts are not confined to what has already been achieved. The Ajman government has announced a package of future projects, including the completion of a road construction project in the Al Muwaihat and Al Yasmeen areas. This project involves the construction of new roads to provide residents with easy and comfortable access to their homes, totalling 8.5 kilometres in length.
The government has also completed a road construction project in the Al Rashidiya 3 area, comprising a series of single-lane roads. A similar project is underway in the Al Jurf 2 area, with the aim of completing a series of single-lane roads totalling 1.5 kilometres in length.
The Ajman government has made significant strides in achieving a cultural renaissance in the emirate by implementing and developing a number of modern road projects. One such project was the completion of a road construction project in the Manama area at a cost of Dhs4.5 million.
This project is part of the department's efforts to provide integrated infrastructure across the emirate to support population growth and urban expansion, improve quality of life, and meet the emirate's strategic objectives.
The department completed two pedestrian bridges at a cost of Dhs6 million.
The first of these is located in the vicinity of the Al Rawda intersection, while the second is situated at the intersection of Sheikh Ammar Street and Al Andalus Street. This objective is consistent with the overarching strategic goal of developing an integrated infrastructure.
Engineer Abdullah Mustafa Al Marzouqi, Director of the Roads and Infrastructure Department, confirmed that the two bridges had been completed in vital locations with constant, heavy traffic to ensure safe pedestrian crossing. The first bridge is 37 metres long and 4 metres wide, while the second bridge spans 57 metres between the two sides of the street. The total number of pedestrian bridges in the emirate now stands at 14.
