Overview

As part of Kuwait’s plans to build a new city in Subiya, the Ministry of Public Works is also developing a causeway that will link it with Kuwait City.

The causeway, also known as “Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah causeway,” will be built across the Kuwait Bay. The eight-lane bridge will be of 37.5 km in length, beginning at the intersection of Ghazali Street with Jamal Abdul Nasser Street passing through the Kuwait Bay area at the southern direction and ending at the Subiya highway.

The project will also include two man made islands of 30 hectares; one on the northern side and the other on the southern side of the bridge. These will house maintenance and traffic emergency buildings, fueling stations and boat docks.
