The new roads will be expanded to two and three lanes in each direction instead of one increasing the vehicle capacity to 8,000 per hour and reducing the travel time between these areas.
The roads will be linked to infrastructure networks services such as drainage, rainwater drainage and potable water networks in addition to telecommunication and electricity networks and street lighting. The new road design also includes green spaces and extended afforestation.
