Any idea's how they're going to do this?
Bearing in mind they've also got to squeeze a mass transit railway in as well.

Yes I saw the plans for the huge Defence Roundabout changes and the road. And the works will only take 20 months or so. Lovely eh?
Same goes for intersection 5. Nice planning guys. Wait until the marina, Jumeirah Beach Residences and Emirates Hills are more or less finished - and then announce that you are going to rebuild the intersection.
I'd love to know what they do in the forward planning department.

Junction 5 is going to have 20 flyovers or something crazy.
Can you imagine what it will be like in the Murooj on my side - the worlds largest shopping mall, the worlds tallest tower and a 2 story road - all right outside my window!! :scared:

On the upside, by the time the road and the Burj and Dubai Mall are built. You might have all of your facilities open

Right - will go and have a look later.
And it doesn't matter about a racket as long as we have 2 between us!

As far as I can tell, apart from the double decker road, which will iterally be outside LG's window, the actual mono rail will run just nehind existing landscaping on the South side of SZR as you can see in this pic here:
This lane addition was discussed yonks ago and its only now that they have made an official announcement.
Bring on the extra lane.... and the construction.. and the traffic........ and the chaos.
