UAE’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) recently announced the awarding of the Jumeirah Corniche Development contract.
Valued at almost $27.2 million, the 14KM long project will start from the beachside of six residential communities behind the Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa, and extend up to Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
“The Jumeirah Corniche will be a beautiful addition offering rest & relaxation facilities for the public to enjoy & practice a variety of activities,” said HE Mattar Al Tayer, chairman and executive director of the RTA.
“Besides offering a value-added aesthetic & comfortable relaxation destination, the project commands special importance as it contributes to the improvement of the social infrastructure in the Emirate,” he added.
A five metre-wide walk, four metre-wide jogging track, rest areas including retail kiosks and shaded benches will be constructed for the project. Construction works on the project began in February 2013, with project opening set for next November, added Al Tayer.
