Six Construct appointed infrastructure contractor for Shindagha Bridge

The bridge is part of the ongoing Shindagha Corridor Project, which will eventually extend 13 kilometers along Sheikh Rashid Street, Al Mina, Al Khaleej and Cairo Streets in Dubai. 

The 295-metre bridge will rise 15.5 m above the Dubai Creek, which allows the passage of various types of boats, and consists of six lanes in each direction in addition to a pedestrian crossing.

The bridge’s iconic design features an architectural arch shaped in the form of the mathematical symbol for infinity.

The top of the infinity arch rises 42m, and approximately 2,400 tonnes of steel will be used in the construction of the bridge.

The project will be completed in 2022 and cost AED 394 million. “It is truly an honour for us to be a part of the Shindagha Corridor Project, as Shindagha is one of the oldest areas of Dubai and was home to Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai from 1912 to 1958,” commented Pierre Sironval, General Manager Business Unit Middle East and Managing Director Six Construct.

“The Shindagha Bridge will be the third major bridge crossing over the creek that we have successfully built in the UAE, and we are very proud as a company to be a part of shaping the history of Dubai and the UAE,” added Pierre Sironval.
