Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a contract for constructing internal roads and ?lighting works in Al Qusais industrial areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Mattar Al Tayer, director-general and chairman of the Board of Executive ?Directors of the RTA, said: "The internal roads project … improves the linking of Al Qusais industrial areas, which are ?served by four main streets: Amman, Beirut, Halab, and Damascus ?streets. It improves the entrances and exits for 320 workshops, 25 residential buildings, shops, ?and educational zones. The population of the area is estimated at 60,000 people.”
