Leading UAE master developer Nakheel has announced the opening of the Phase Two of the Dh400 million ($54.4 million) International City road improvement scheme, which opened on Saturday.

The project, funded by Nakheel to the tune of Dh201 million, has already dramatically improved traffic flow, reduced journey times and boosted safety for hundreds of thousands of motorists since phase one opened last summer, said a statement from the Dubai developer.

The scope of work includes road widening, new interchanges and signalised junctions in and around International City, Dragon City and Warsan Village, where over 110,000 people live and a further 200,000 visit each day.

Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "This major road scheme is pivotal to the long term strategy for the International City master community. Residents and business owners in the area have already benefited hugely from phase one through easier access, smoother traffic flow and improved safety."

"The second phase adds more appeal to the area for living, leisure and trade, and further paves the way for growth," he stated.

Completed expansions in and around International City include the Warsan Village villa community, home to the upcoming Warsan Souk, and Dragon Mart 2, sister to the world-famous Dragon Mart and a key element of Dragon City.
