Dubai Metro extension to start in 2016

NULL

Work on a 15 km extension to Dubai Metro will begin next year, and be operational by 2019. That’s according to the Chief Engineer of Rail Operations at the Roads and Transport Authority, Shahrin Salam, who was speaking at the MENA Rail and Metro Summit. The Route 2020 project will see seven new stations on the red line, with the route passing through areas such as Discovery Gardens and Jumeirah Golf Estates, before heading through to the site of Expo 2020. The extension could also feature three tracks instead of two at stations, for more flexibility.
