Construction progress at the Metro Expo line
Our company GTV Global is participating at the Metro Extension for 2020 by working with leading architect firms and contracting companies. The Route 2020 comprises a 15 km long line, of which 11.8 km will be an elevated section and the remaining 3.2 km will be constructed underground. Its route is designed to cover populated areas in the city to make commutation easy for the visitors and the residents of Dubai not only during the six-month world fair but also in the future.
The 3.2 km long tunnel will be located between Discovery Gardens and Green Community and will have depth ranging between 12.5 and 36 meters. It is expected to be completed by December 2018. The Route 2020 plan also includes the construction of three main power supply stations and an additional traction power supply station.
The route will have seven LEED Gold-certified stations including three interchange and two underground stations. The stations will connect certain prime spots and locations such as the Discovery Gardens, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Golf Estates, and The Dubai Investment Park.
The plan also includes the creation of an iconic station at the exhibition site and an interchange station on the Red Line at the Nakheel harbour and tower. The main Expo station is designed to represent the wings of a plane. The exquisite outer structure of the Expo station comprising a sweep and a curve will make it stand out from all the other stations being built along the Route 2020.
