en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Al-Taawun Tunnel project in Sharjah, UAE, as a core component of a local road development plan, will construct a 500-meter tunnel passing beneath the Al-Taawun roundabout. The tunnel will feature three lanes in each direction, aiming to connect Al-Taawun Street to Al-Nahda Bridge, and subsequently to Dubai.
The project will include a signalized intersection capable of handling approximately 4,200 vehicles per hour in each direction. The tunnel will also provide access to the Sharjah Expo Centre, forming part of a traffic corridor linking the centre to Al-Noor Road.
The Al-Taawun Tunnel project is a key component of a AED 750 million (approximately USD 204 million) road development plan in Sharjah. The plan, officially announced by the Ruler of Sharjah, Sultan Bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, includes a network of tunnels, bridges, and upgrades to multiple intersections.
Other projects comprising the plan include: Al-Noor Road, extending from Al-Orooba Street to Dubai via Al-Nahda Bridge, serving residential and commercial areas in Sharjah and neighboring parts of Dubai. Two new 130-meter bridges will be constructed on Industrial Street One and Two, each with two lanes in each direction, connecting to Maleha Road, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road, and Al-Waset Road, adding approximately 2,800 vehicles per hour of capacity in each direction. The Industrial Street Three project adds two new bridges connecting Sharjah's industrial zones to the ring road; this 2.7-kilometer project adds dedicated turning lanes to Maleha Road, Sheikh Khalifa Road, and Al-Dhaid Road, along with a culvert connecting Industrial Street Three to the ring road, with a two-way capacity of approximately 5,200 vehicles per hour. The project will also enhance connectivity between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al-Khan Street, and Al-Ittihad Road. The Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road Interchange project involves upgrading the existing interchange to improve connectivity between the highway and the Al-Taawun, Al-Khan, and Al-Buhaira areas.
