The three new JVC/Hessa Street link roads will improve traffic flow and reduce journey times, according to the master developer. 

Work on the new roads will begin in February, with a completion date scheduled for Q3 2016.

A Nakheel spokesman said: "Around 20,000 people currently live in JVC, but this rapidly-growing mixed-use development will accommodate some 300,000 people when complete.

"The new road links will enhance JVC in both the short and long term by tackling the immediate needs of residents and addressing the future needs of the community as it expands."

Nakheel has delivered more than 700 villas at JVC, with over 265 buildings, villas and townhouses by third pary developers either complete or under construction.

Meanwhile, a further 239 residential, commercial and hospitality buildings by sub-developers are currently in design stage. 

JVC will also be home to Nakheel's The Circle Mall which will boast 235 shops, cafes, restaurants and a mult-screen cinema.

Construction on the mall is set to begin this year.
