The Green line, which forms the second phase of the Dubai Metro project, is making substantial progress with 11 per cent of the work completed, according to a spokesman for the project.

The line has six underground stations and 12 elevated stations and is designed to pass through the central business districts of Dubai.
The northern and southern section of the line is progressing as planned with the piling works in progress at Al Qusais 2 station and commencement of diaphragm walls in Salahuddin and Palm Deira.
“At Ghubaiba underground station, following the construction of the diaphragm wall, work has also been completed on two of the five roof slabs. Work is in progress for the remaining panels that are scheduled to be completed by the end of this month (November).
Work has also been completed on the diaphragm wall of the Al Ras Station along with the last phase of the second stage for traffic diversions at Sayeediya,” says Adnan Al Hammadi, director of the rail construction department at the Rail Agency.
“Following the completion of the diaphragm wall for the cut-and-cover section from BurJuman to Oud Metha, work is set to commence on excavation and strutting that will facilitate the construction of roof slabs. In addition, works on road diversion around the Al Seef and Tariq bin Zayed Road will be completed shortly,” he adds.
The Green Line will run from Al Ittihad Square through Deira and Bur Dubai to BurJuman, through Health Care City to Jadaff in the south, and from Al Ittihad Square through the intersection of Al Nahda and Damascus Road to Al Qiyadah intersection toward Al Qusais Area.
