Dubai: Dubai's master developer, Nakheel, has announced that design work of three 12-lane bridges connecting Palm Deira to mainland Deira has been completed. The bridges will cost an estimated Dh1, 980 million.

The announcement follows a meeting between Abdulla Bin Sulayem, Operations Director of Palm Deira and James R. Shabelle, President, Parsons Transportation Group, a global provider of construction advisory solutions.

At the same time, Nakheel has formed an alliance with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai to connect the transportation network on mainland Deira to the network being developed by Nakheel on Palm Deira. Along with similar integrated networks for the Metro and Marine transport, residents will have the flexibility to travel around the emirates with their preferred mode of transport.

Abdulla Bin Sulayem, Operations Director of Palm Deira, Nakheel comments: "We congratulate Parsons Group on completing the design work on the Palm Deira bridges to the highest specifications. This is a huge project and will include the installation of 44 bridges and a network of modern roads, intersections and metro tunnels. With the continued support of Parsons Group and RTA, Palm Deira will be ready to properly service its residents once complete."

Construction on the first bridge, which will be 1,000 meters in length and 15 meters tall, has already begun. Excavation work at the second bridge, also 1,000 meters long, has also commenced and work on the third 1,100-meter long bridge will begin soon.
