RENARDET S.A. & PARTNERS CONSULTING ENGINEERS: 1029

Narrative Description of the Project:

The project consists of the incorporation of the third level ?Trumpet? arrangement to accommodate the left-turn movements from Ruwi direction to Al Ameerat direction and Al Ameerat direction to Al Seeb. The centre piece of the Interchange project is the new steel bridge that will soar above the existing flyover at the Wadi Adai Junction, creating a first ever three-level road network at the junction. The steel bridge will be built on the concrete pillars that at their highest point will rise to 19 m above the ground level. From the Al Amerat side, the new steel bridge will start from a point abutting the mosque close to the Wadi Adai Junction. Soaring above the flyover, it goes around the hillock located on the other side of the junction and connects with existing Ruwi-Qurum carriageway. Also as part of the interchange project, a second bridge (Bridge No.2) is being built taking traffic from the Ruwi side over the flyover and into the Al Amerat carriageway in a seamless flow that will significantly ameliorate congestion at this busy junction. The second steel bridge which is built on concrete pillars will also skirt the same hillock before it climbs above the existing flyover to merge with the steel bridge (Bridge No. 1). The existing roundabout will also be signalized.
