Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal
ABU DHABI // A two-kilometre stretch of Salam Street will open to traffic today, though it will be several months before the Dh5 billion project is finally complete.
“From 2007, a lot of things have changed,” Ahmed Al Sayari, the municipality’s head of road construction, observed during a tour of the project.
He was referring to the start of the long-awaited – and twice-delayed – redevelopment back in October 2007.
The project was initially expected to end in October 2010, but the completion date was pushed forward to July and again to next year.
Mr Al Sayari said the project is 88 per cent complete and should be completely ready by the first quarter of 2012.
Today, five new junctions will be opened to traffic, and more than 700 parking spaces will become available on the newly opened stretch from Hamdan Street to Al Falah Street.
The speed limit will be 60 kph.
The new section will feature state-of-the-art pedestrian and street lighting systems. The signals also use technology that reduces power consumption and maintenance.
Three of the project’s four stages have been completed; today’s unveiling is the first part of the final stage. Another 1.6 kilometres of surface road is still under construction, and work on the underground tunnels is ongoing, officials said yesterday.
The fourth and final stage is the most expensive. Surface road works, which include construction along two branches that will run from Hamdan Street and divert to Mina Zayed and the Corniche, should be completed by the end of the year.
Construction on the 3.1-kilometre tunnel will be the last piece of the puzzle. The tunnel still needs to be connected to a smaller tunnel that runs under Defence Road, Mr Al Sayari said.
When completed, vehicles will be able to use the tunnel to travel from Sheikh Zayed Bridge to Mina Zayed without stopping at traffic lights.
Heavy lorries will be banned from travelling on the surface roads and will be able to travel from the port to Musaffah without stopping.
The tunnels will have safety facilities such as firefighting equipment, closed-circuit television and lighting systems for emergencies.
Pedestrian walkways will lead to emergency staircases and emergency telephones are being installed. More than 4,300 workers are estimated to have worked on the project.
The project’s delay has been linked to “dense underground utilities networks” and the high volume of traffic.
“The project started totally from scratch,” said Mohammed Shoqfa, the senior project manager for the Salam Street redevelopment. “The biggest holdup was definitely because of the utility works.”
Most recent traffic counts show inbound traffic is approximately 7,000 vehicles during morning hours and outbound traffic is about 5,600 vehicles, more than double the road’s usage before construction began. The municipality estimates about 126,000 vehicles will use the road each weekday.
Once the project is complete, Salam Street will have four lanes in each direction, doubling its capacity to an estimated 12,000 vehicles an hour.

Here are some easy dandruff remedies for people who cannot spare too much time for themselves. Dandruff home treatment can be much more effective than using harsh anti-dandruff shampoos that again lead to hair fall.
Lemon and Curd: People busy with their professional lives don’t have the time for making herbal packs for their hair. But lemon and curd due to their citrus nature are the best natural dandruff remedies. All you have to do is squeeze a lemon in a small bowl of curd, mix it and apply it on your hair. You have to leave it for half an hour while you continue with your work and then wash it off; preferably with a mild anti dandruff shampoo.
Garlic and Oil: You can be too busy to oil your hair but you will face the consequences in a few years. If you already have a severe problem of itchy dry scalp then then plain oil will not do. Just squash a few cloves of garlic and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes at 800 degree centigrade. Now massage this lukewarm oil on your scalp. This should hydrate your scalp and get rid of the flaky skin.
Olive oil and Ginger: If all these dandruff remedies are too cumbersome for you then this one should be simple enough. Heat ginger with olive oil in the microwave and apply it on your scalp just a few minutes before you wash your hair. There is no need to leave it overnight and it will still show results.
It is important to find effective remedies for dandruff even if you are busy because the more you ignore it the more damage it causes.
Have a good health.

Sunita Williams 2nd Indian Lady who went to the Moon on 09/07/2011, immediately after her return yesterday on Earth has declared that she embraced ISLAM as her Faith and converted to It. She said that from the moon the whole earth looked very black and dark except the 2 places which were bright and shining, when I looked through the Telescope, she added. Amazingly those two spots were MAKKAH and MADINA, in the Arabian peninsula. She also added that at the moon all the Frequencies failed but I still could hear the sound of ADHAAN.
