Officials confirmed plans to build a huge 109km Abu Dhabi Loop – a “segregated cycle-way linking key destinations around the city”.
Further construction concepts being wheeled out soon include a 3,500 capacity track racing arena. Once finished Velodrome Hudayriyat will hopefully offer more than just marginal gains to the nation’s sporting facilities.
