The UAE is well known for its varied and many architectural marvels and to join the long list of some very exquisite buildings and architecture is the newly constructed — Infinity Bridge that opened to the public for the first time on January 16.

Fostering an arc shape, like the symbol of infinity, the bridge represents the unlimited ambitions that Dubai incorporates on its road to development. The Infinity Bridge is part of a roughly $1.44 billion project called the Al Shindagha Corridor Project, which was first announced in 2018.

The bridge has been constructed in a way to manage the traffic flow which can take 24,000 vehicles in both directions each hour. The bridge has six lanes in each direction and is made to improve the link between Deira and Bur Dubai.

Built over Dubai Creek next to Al Shindagha Tunnel, the bridge supports development needs by raising the total number of lanes crossing Dubai Creek from 48 to 60.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of United Arab Emirates, also announced the opening of the bridge and shared pictures of the bridge on Twitter.“ Infinity Bridge. A new global engineering artistic and architectural masterpiece we launched today in Dubai. Our bridges towards the future. Our ambitions are endless,” he wrote.

The Roads And Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, along with the opening of the Infinity Bride, also announced the temporary closure of two months of one direction of the Al Shindagha going from Deira towards Bur Dubai, to complete the link between the newly-opened Infinity Bridge and the new bridges with Al Shindagha Tunnel.

The Al Shindagha Corridor Project also features plans for improvements to Al Khaleej Street along with the intersection with Abu Hail Street, as well as the intersection of Sheikh Rashid Street with Jumeirah, Al Mina and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Streets and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
