The local Wade Adams Contracting has been awarded the contract to build road access bridges to Deira Islands.
The contractor submitted the lowest bid for the contract in late March with a price of AED450m ($123m), about 24 per cent lower than the price submitted by the local DBB Contracting.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is managing the project. Nakheel, the master developer for Deira Islands, is providing the funding.
The new bridges are part of the larger Shindagha corridor scheme that will overhaul the road network in Deira and Bur Dubai. Construction work started on the scheme in 2016 when Wade Adams was awarded the contract to overhaul Sana junction in the Karama area.
In early May this year, the local/Belgian Belhasa Six Construct was awarded the estimated AED390m ($106m) contract to build the Infinity Bridge crossing Dubai Creek in the Shindagha area.
US firm Parsons is the consultant for the Shindagha Corridor scheme.
