Dubai Roads & Transport Authority has recently completed the construction of a dedicated track for bicycles and e-scooters in Hatta. Extending 4.5 km, this project also included the construction of two rest areas that were along the new tracks. As a result, this has increased the total length of the track in Hatta to 13.5 km, which is about 50%. Not to mention, they also completed a 2.2 km walking track, which falls adjacent to the new tracks.
At this point, it should be noted that this project aims to offer soft mobility solutions and integrity transport means. The aim is also to develop inclusive infrastructure and offer several options for bespoke individual mobility experiences not just in Hatta but across Dubai.
More About The Development In The Area
It’s worth mentioning that the Dubai RTA has also completed the paving of the parking lot at Wadi Leem Lake, which will be able to accommodate 135 vehicles. It has also upgraded the existing gravel road connecting the parking lot to the main street. Not to mention, traffic and directional signs have been installed around entrances of the Leem Lake and several other locations to ensure a safer road. Coming back to the new cycle track, it starts in the backyard of the Hatta Community Centre and then passes through the existing pedestrian bridge at Leem Lake. Finally, it joins the existing track at Wadi Hatta Park, which connects to the Hatta Guesthouse area. In fact, it also links with the existing track at the police roundabout, further running up to Hatta Sports Club before branching out
In fact, the RTA has also completed the construction of the Hatta Souq Roundabout, which falls on the Dubai Hatta Road. It will reduce the travel distance by 60% by ensuring smooth entry and exit from the supply of vehicles. In fact, the authority has also completed a U-turn on Dubai Hata Road that falls near Wadi Hub.
