Contractors are preparing to submit bids on 22 March for the contract to build the Infinity Bridge crossing Dubai Creek.

The project client, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has earlier set a deadlines of 8 March and 15 March for the tender submissions. Bids were previously due to be submitted in February.

Dubai wants the Infinity Bridge to be another architectural landmark for the emirate. It will be a box girder bridge with a decorative Infinity arch that offers minimal structural functionality. The bridge will have a total length of about 300 metres with 15 metres of clearance above the waters of the Creek. It is expected that it will take 24 months to build.

The Infinity Bridge will be built near to the mouth of the Creek. It is part of the larger Shindagha Corridor scheme that runs through Bur Dubai and Deira.

The US’ Parsons is the consultant for the Shindagha Corridor scheme and the Infinity Bridge.
