Dubai Properties announced today that on completion of the extension project, the Creek will stretch to 13.1 km, with its widest section measuring 500 m.
Work on the Creek extension is being carried out in several phases. Phases 1 and 2 span Doha Street and Sheikh Zayed Road, and connect the extension to the Creek's former head at Ras Al Khor. Phase 3, located between Oud Metha Road and Doha Street, is also nearing completion.
Hashim Al Dabal, CEO of Dubai Properties said: "The Creek extension initiative is progressing on schedule. The extension is part of Dubai Properties' vision to restore the commercial importance of the Creek, and link it with the new business and financial corridor of Business Bay and Sheikh Zayed Road."
Work on the Creek extension is scheduled to be completed by mid-2007.
