Salam Street intersections opened in Abu Dhabi

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City announced the full opening of Al Salam intersection with Street No31 going inbound and outbound Abu Dhabi and the partial opening of Al Salam intersection with Hazza bin Zayed Street below the bridge that connects Hazza bin Zayed Street to Al Reem island going towards Hazza bin Zayed Street.

These milestones aim to facilitate traffic flow inbound and outbound Abu Dhabi and to local areas near the two intersections and falls under the Municipality efforts to complete construction works of Al Salam, which will be the first freeway on Abu Dhabi Island.

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City continues to encourage motorists to adhere to speed limits and obey all traffic laws. Pedestrians are urged to use proper crossing areas and bridges provided by the municipality for their own safety.

The mega infrastructure project is part of the municipality's strategic aim to meet the requirements of a developing city, as well as respond to the needs of the growing population. It includes upgrading the existing road to an urban expressway with a network of roads and tunnels that will lead to a smooth free-flow facility of an estimated capacity of 6,000 vehicles per hour on each direction.

Upon completion of Al Salam Street Project, motorists will be able to travel through Al Salam Street without any traffic signals from Sheikh Zayed Bridge until the Mina Zayed.

Al Salam Street Project is a result of the cooperation between the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, Urban Planning Council, Department of Transport and the General Command of Abu Dhabi Police.

The project falls under the initiative of the municipality to contribute to the development of the city and to establish Abu Dhabi's position as a truly modern metropolis on par with the best in the world.
