Twenty RTA personnels, 1 concerned resident, 2 cranes and 6 hours- that’s what it took to save a little kitten who was stranded on a bridge<\/h2>\n

It was a normal day, until a Dubai resident<\/a> who was on his way to Al Qudra spotted a kitten stuck on the bridge. He was heading for a ride and took the exit to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed road from Al Asayel street.<\/p>\n

It was 8 pm and while he was on his way, he spotted a tiny kitten sitting on the side of the road, on top of the massive fly over bridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He then pulled over and tried to get close to the kitten to help him out. However, the kitten got scared and ran into the service tunnel.<\/p>\n

The resident immediately called the RTA emergency line and gave all of the details. Within 40 minutes, he received a call from an RTA saying a team of 5 people were enroute and will try to help him out.<\/p>\n

Their foreman (Naresh) then told him that he has called for an articulated crane and another 2 teams that will be blocking off one lane of the bridge.<\/p>\n

However, as the debris was clear, the kitten got spooked and ran to the other side of the bridge. The team clearly needed another plan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A second crane was then called to approach the other side of the tunnel. But, they still had to tackle a problem<\/h2>\n

There was no way for a person to fit into that little tunnel, and so the team had to figure an alternative to push the kitten towards the crane through the tunnel.<\/p>\n

The team then made a VERY long stick out of broom handles, attached a plastic bag on the end for cushioning and tried to gently push the kitten towards one of the teams in the cranes.<\/p>\n

Annnddd…. IT WORKED \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n

The resident was received and thanked\u00a0RTA for their time, effort and resources that were spent on rescuing the little kitty.<\/p>\n
