The Government of Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has awarded a contract worth US$67 million to Dubai Holding for the construction of a 1.4km bridge.
The crossing over Dubai Creek is part of the direct entry and exit for the Dubai Islands from the Bur Dubai side. It will clear the creek by 18.5m, allowing for a 75m navigation channel.

The project is part of the Al Shindagha Corridor Development Project.
