Saadiyat Bridge in Abu Dhabi is 60% complete

The 10-lane Saadiyat Bridge which will link Abu Dhabi city with Saadiyat Island, the mega mixed use real estate development which lies 500 metres offshore the UAE capital is now 60% complete and is fast emerging as a major landmark in the emirate.

The bridge, one of the largest infrastructure projects currently under way in Abu Dhabi emirate which is easily accessible to Dubai, is being built by an ED Zublin AG/Saif Bin Darwish joint venture on behalf of Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), Abu Dhabi's leading tourism asset development and the name behind Saadiyat Island's transformation into a signature leisure, residential and cultural destination.

"We are well on course for targeted completion of the bridge in September next year well in advance of the planned opening of some key Saadiyat facilities, including some five-star resorts planned for Saadiyat Beach and the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course," said Lee Tabler, CEO, TDIC.

Set to become one of the world's great non-suspension bridges, the concrete span bridge, which has mid span of approximately 200 metres will connect Saadiyat Island with Abu Dhabi city from the Mina Zayed main port area creating a five-minute drive access between the two. Source
