The Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) has recently signed a service-delivery agreement with the Dubai Municipality (DM) governing the streamlining of issuing work permits for any engineering works. The works related to excavating the bottom of the Creek to extract subterranean waters in order to clearly identify the tasks of the respective parties particularly those within the right-of-way of the rail track tunnels stretching underneath the Dubai Creek. The agreement was signed by the CEO of RTA Rail Agency Adnan Al Hammadi, and the assistant general manager for health, safety & environment sector at the Dubai Municipality.
