Sharjah roads body expands Kalba Ring Road

Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) implemented the Kalba Ring Road development project. The project works included the development and expansion of the road with a length of 5.8 kilometres, which enhances the efficiency of the traffic network and keeps pace with the accelerated development requirements in the city.

The project work also included the construction of a third lane along the road, to increase capacity and improve traffic movement, especially during peak times, which contributes to reducing congestion and raising the efficiency of mobility between different areas.

The work also included the implementation of dedicated acceleration and deceleration lanes at the road entrances and exits, providing a smoother and safer transition for vehicles, and enhancing traffic safety levels by organising entry and exit movements.

The work included updating the associated infrastructure to ensure the road's readiness to meet current and future needs, and enhance its sustainability according to the highest approved engineering specifications and standards.
