Work on 12-lane Etihad Bridge which will replace the existing Floating Bridge and the Parallel Roads Project supporting the Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road will begin this year.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said on Saturday that by the end of this year RTA will award a contract for constructing Etihad Bridge near the Dubai Creek Park, Dubai Courts at Bur Dubai side, and near Deira City Center and the Dubai Golf Club at Deira side.
RTA will complete Dubai Tram project this year.
Etihad Bridge, which will replace the existing Floating Bridge, comprises 12 lanes (6 in each direction), in addition to a footpath in each direction. It measures 61.6 meters in width and has an arch that rises 100 meters. The Bridges is set to provide free traffic movement in all directions and will allow free navigation around the clock as it rises 15 meters above the Creek water level and has a 400 meter-wide navigation line enabling the passage of bulky ships underneath.
In 2014, the RTA will complete the construction of several projects currently underway, and undertake a host of new projects.
Among the projects to be completed this year is the Dubai Tram, which has a track extending 11 km along Al Sufouh Street and the initial phase of the project is expected to be opened in November this year
