Engineering firm 3449 EC Harris is now starting work on a two year contract for Abu Dhabi's transport plan. The project was awarded by the Abu Dhabi Department of Transport and is for the country's Surface Transport Master Plan (STMP). This will form an integral part of Abu Dhabi's development of its transportation infrastructure.

The STMP consists of 37 main road projects, seven traffic management projects and 14 road safety projects valued at over US$25 billion that need to be developed and constructed by 2030.

EC Harris will provide Programme Management Services to support and advise the Department of Transport on which schemes should be constructed first, prioritised on the basis of value for money and need, and to oversee the phased implementation of the Master Plan over the next two years.  EC Harris will also advise on the creation, shape and form of the infrastructure company which will maintain all of the major assets created as a result of the Master Plan.
