Floating Bridge, Dubai
Floating Bridge (Arabic: الجسر العائم) is a pontoon bridge (floating bridge) located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The bridge was built between the Al Garhoud and Al Maktoum Bridges, mainly to reduce traffic on the Al Maktoum Bridge.[1] The bridge connects across the intersection near Deira City Centre and Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and ends at the intersection of Riyadh Street, between Dubai Courts and Creek Park.[1] The bridge opened on 16 July 2007. The project cost 155 million د.إ or 42 million $US to build and has the capacity for 6,000 vehicles an hour. The bridge also serves as an alternative route for Al Maktoum Bridge where Salik was recently implemented. The Floating Bridge is the fifth crossing on Dubai Creek, the others being Al Shindagha Tunnel, Al Maktoum Bridge, Al Garhoud Bridge, and Business Bay Crossing.
