Abu Dhabi's DMT Announces Dh872 Million Bridge Network Linking Ramhan and Jubail Islands by 2027

Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) is set to enhance the emirate's infrastructure with a Dh872 million project to build a network of seven bridges. This major development, scheduled to open in 2027, will link Ramhan and Jubail islands to the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Highway (E12).

Project Scope and Connectivity

The project encompasses the construction of a significant interchange spanning over 166,000 square metres. It includes seven bridges, three tunnels, and a comprehensive system of ramps, roads, and service corridors. The primary goal is to substantially increase road capacity and improve traffic flow, facilitating easier access to Ramhan and Jubail islands.

Eng. Eisa Mubarak Almazrouei, Director General of Infrastructure Development at the DMT, highlighted that the initiative is part of Abu Dhabi's broader strategy to expand its transport network. This expansion is designed to support the emirate's ongoing urban and economic growth, fostering integrated communities and improving quality of life.

Sustainability and Economic Impact

Sustainability is a key component of the project, with plans to implement energy-efficient LED lighting systems to reduce electricity consumption and minimise light pollution. Also, the DMT aims to recycle approximately 90 per cent of the construction waste, which is estimated to exceed 2,200 tonnes.

This infrastructure investment is expected to bolster Abu Dhabi's transport capabilities and contribute to the emirate's economic development by creating more accessible and connected communities.
