The RTA’s Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project which develops for 13km along Sheikh Rashid Road, Al Mina Street, Al Khaleej Street, and Cairo Street, also involves this tunnel as a part of its Phase 4.
The responsibility of overseen this project is up to Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai.
