EXCLUSIVE: Dubai sets March tender deadline for Creek bridge

The Infinity Bridge is part of the Shindagha Corridor scheme

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has set an 8 March tender closing date for the contract to build the Infinity Bridge crossing Dubai Creek.

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.
