Iconic bridge
Palm Jebel Ali

Palm Jebel Ali and the mainland will soon be connected by a 450 meter long cable stayed bridge. The architectural design of this bridge is characterized by the clear and daring separation between the pylons and the bridge deck.  Despite its massive size the deck appears to hover in space, elegantly floating in its web of cables. Thanks to its fully free standing location, the bridge can be admired from all sides, it will serve as an icon for Palm Jebel Ali, like its famous peers around the world such as the Brooklyn bridge, the Golden Gate bridge and the Firth of Forth bridge.
