Umm Yifeenah Bridge, connecting Al Reem Island, Umm Yifeenah Island and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street as part of Abu Dhabi’s Mid-Island Parkway project. This link is made of 64 consecutive arches each spanning 34 m. Total bridge length 2’250 m, deck width 20 m for 6 lanes and walkways for slow traffic. The challenge was the construction from one end since the precast arches are only stable when finally loaded with earthfill. Completion 2024.
