Fujairah authorities have begun the development of a rainwater drainage network.

The move, on the directive of Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Ruler of Fujairah, will also feature the development of 31km of the emirate’s road network.

The project covers several roads in Dibba Al Fujairah, Al Hail, Qarat, Qidfa, Wadi Al Sidr, Seiji, Thuban, Habhab, Al Qarya, Wadi Sahm, Al Farfar and Awhala.

Salem Mohammed Ali Al Maksah, director of the Fujairah Public Works and Agriculture Department, said that, as well as the 77km drainage network, two new road tunnels will be built. One will be in the Al Sharia area with a length of 1.2km, while the other will run for 1.4km alongside Sheikh Khalifa General Hospital.

He said that under the project additional road lighting, signage, speed bumps, side parking and pedestrian crossings with traffic lights would be created on the Corniche, Sheikh Zayed and Al Ghurfa roads. He added that this would help regulate traffic and ensure public safety for drivers.
