The project, which is scheduled for completion in 2020, includes the construction of a road with three 6.5km lanes in each direction, starting from Reem Island and passing through Umm Lafina Island.
It will also include building three bridges above water canals to maintain the navigation of traffic, and the establishment of a 4km road above water, plus mangrove areas to connect the south side of Umm Lafina Island with Sheikh Zayed Road.
