Dubai Floating Bridge
from: by DubaiinformerAs traffic becomes more and more of a concern in Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has sanctioned the project to have a Floating Bridge on the Dubi Creek, half-a-kilometer to the south of Al Maktoum Bridge. Its construction has begun a few months back, and is set to be completed by March 2007. According to the officials of the Road and Transport Authority (RTA), the six-lane bridge will hold over 6,000 vehicles during peak hours. The bridge will stretch across the surface intersection near Deira City Centre and Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, and will end at the intersection to be built on Riyadh Street between Dubai Courts and Creek Park.
'The Floating Bridge is a temporary solution until the Authority successfully completes the design and construction of a permanent bridge at the same place' according to Eng. Maitha Bin Adi, CEO of Dubai Traffic and Roads Corporation at RTA.
The Floating Bridge is part of an integrated system the RTA is implementing that is set to reduce the traffic congestion by 37% on Al Maktoum Bridge, on which more than 150,000 vehicle pass each day. A first-of-its-kind project in the UAE, the Floating Bridge will be built out of 2-meter-wide hollow concrete blocks that will float on water.
The rolling segment of the bridge allows it to open and close at intervals of 20 minutes. These opening and closing times will be set in coordination with the authorities regulating the movement of ships and ferries crossing Dubai Creek. Ferries on the other hand will have a side-way passage that will not require the opening and closing of the Floating Bridge.
While its construction is going smoothly, the finish of the Floating Bridge is anticipated by many Dubai motorists who are constantly battling their way on a daily basis in this particular route. This has generated quite an amount of interest and intrigue. Hopefully by next year, motorists in Dubai will be delighted in having serviced by the new Floating Bridge. Dubai Informer
