The project comprises of 6 individual contract sections, each relating to separate work type and distinctly separated. (1) IC 05 will be modified from the existing half clover leaf to diamond type configuration. The existing fly over bridge will be removed and reconstructed to a simple span to consider the smooth signalized operation. The bridge to be installed is a concrete pre-stressed box-girder type with a bored pile-type foundation. (2) IC 18 is designed to have a diamond shape configuration. Two (2) bridges will be installed for the north and south bound direction of the main access road. Both bridges to be installed have a bored pile-type foundation. The superstructure is concrete pre-stressed box-girder type. The retaining earth wall has a total length of 700m. (3) For IC 6, upgrading works involve the installation of U-turns and right turning lanes into the existing diamond type interchange to improve the accessibility and installation of new access roads. (4) The upgrading works for IC 19 involve mainly the change to a half-access interchange. (5) IC 14 is the interchange at the western terminus of Abu Dhabi Road - Jamal Abdul Nasser Street.
