The Abu Dhabi Municipality and Town Planning Department has completed a greater part of the Dh750 million ($204.2 million) infrastructure projects for the new Abu Dhabi corniche road.

More than 70,000 sq m have been filled with sand to pave the way for the construction of various projects, including  parking lots, which can accommodate 3,500 cars at vantage points on the road and recreation grounds, as well as other facilities.
Pavements at various points of the new corniche, between the Al Khaleej Street to the Airport Road have been completed, while a bridge which will span a lake near the Sheraton Hotel and another one near the Mina Zayed (Port Zayed), is under construction.
Work has also commenced on a third tunnel and on subways along the six-km new corniche road, from the Al Khaleej Street to Mina Zayed, he said.
