New| Air-conditioned Bridges |
Dubai Tram stations have been linked by four covered & air-conditioned footbridges to serve tram users and residents on both sides of the road. Two footbridges have been constructed on Al Safouh Street, and the other two link Tecom district with the opposite side of the street, and the Dubai Marina Mall in order to provide a safe transport means to cross the street in such a vital area. The design and construction of these footbridges have taken into account fitting them with air-conditioners, elevators, and escalators in a way harmonious with the aesthetic appearance of the Dubai Tram coaches and stations, and the urban design of the residential districts, besides ensuring a high level of comfort for users by fitting them with elevators and sloping paths to ensure access for special needs and the elderly. |
