The new cycling track starts at the backyard of Hatta Community Centre, passes through the existing pedestrian bridge at Leem Lake, and connects with the existing track in Wadi Hatta Park.

This track is connected to the Hatta Guest House area and links with the existing track at Hatta Police Roundabout, running up to Hatta Sports Club before branching out as shared tracks with the existing streets in Almasiaf area near Al-Salmi.

“The overall objective is to provide integrated transport elements such as cycling tracks, pedestrian crossings & rest areas, shaded paths, landscaping, and parking areas for rented private vehicles and bike racks,” said Hussain Al Banna, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency at RTA.

Furthermore, the paving of a parking lot at Wadi Leem Lake accommodating 135 vehicles was also completed. The existing gravel road connecting the parking lot to the main street has also been upgraded. To ensure the safety of road users in Hatta, traffic and directional signs were also installed around entrances of Leem Lake and various locations.
