This is how Dh394 million Shindagha Bridge will look like

  DUBAI – Construction of a new Dh394 million Shindagha Bridge Project has been approved in Dubai. The bridge features an iconic design inspired by an infinity sign. The Shindagha Bridge is part of the Dh5.035 billion Shindagha Corridor Project that extends 13km along Sheikh Rashid Street as well as Al Mina, Al Khaleej and Cairo Streets. His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai launched the construction of the project.     The new bridge is being developed under the third phase of the Shindagha Corridor Project. The bridge extends about 295 metres, 150 metres of which is over the Dubai Creek, and consists of six lanes in each direction in addition to a pedestrian crossing. The bridge rises 15.5 metres above the water level, which allows the passage of various types of boats plying the Creek. The bridge’s iconic design features an architectural arch shaped in the form of the mathematical symbol for infinity. The top of the infinity arch rises 42 metres. About 2,400 tonnes of steel will be used in the construction of the bridge. Phase 4 of the Shindagha Bridge Project covers the construction of the extension of Shindagha Bridge. These works require the construction of bridges stretching 3.4km, tunnels running 2.25km, seven surface junctions, and roads extending 5.1 km. This phase is expected to be completed by 2025. Phase 5, which covers the construction of Deira Southern Island, with bridges spanning 1.5 km, is expected to be completed by 2027.
