Dubai Opens New Tunnel for Cyclists
Dubai has opened a new tunnel dedicated for cyclists in the city.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) opened the new tunnel specifically designed for cyclists in Meydan area.
The tunnel spans 160m in length and 6.6m in width, with a capacity to accommodate approximately 800 bicycles per hour.
Opening this project is part of RTA’s efforts to transform Dubai into a bicycle-friendly city, which requires improving the infrastructure of cycling tracks and linking them with the residential areas as well as popular attractions.
It also encourages residents and visitors to practice sports and recreational activities and provides a safe cycling experience for bikers conforming with the highest safety requirements.
