2008-04-20 - Dubai will have the bridge in longer arch of the world


They've got amazing hotels, artificial islands, even an indoor ski mountain. And now, to add to the list, Dubai will become home to largest arch bridge in world when the constructions of this monster is finished in 2012.



What with all the already unbelievable structures they have over there in Dubai, it always seems like the perfect time to visit. Then they announce another new, awe-inspiring project that makes you think.  Well, considering the conceptual renderings for this bridge, it probably is better to wait until it's finished. The specs make it sound well worth it:
- It's one mile long and 670 feel tall.
- It will have 12 lanes for traffic.
- It will cost $817 million dollars.
- The design has been approved by Sheik Mohammed.
- The bridge will carry more than 2,000 vehicles per hour in each direction.
- A metro line will run across the middle.



Impressive, no? Construction will hopefully be completed in 2012.

Dubai tendrá el puente en arco más largo del mundo

Dubai es una gran ciudad en medio del desierto, con impresionantes construcciones, islas artificiales, hoteles, centros comerciales, parques de diversiones y pista para esquiar. Tienen de todo, pero por supuesto, no podían quedarse atrás, y por esta razón planean construir el puente de arco más grande del planeta.
La oficina FX FOWLE, colaboradora de Renzo Piano en el edificio del New York Times, se adjudicó el concurso para este nuevo puente en Dubai, el sexto atravieso que conecta ambos lados de la ciudad sobre el canal Dubai, sumándose a cuatro puentes y un túnel.

El puente tendrá un largo de uno con siete kilómetros y un alto de doscientos cuatro metros. Su costó es de ochocientos diecisiete millones de dólares y su construcción se inició en marzo de este año, por lo que debiera estar listo para el 2012.
El puente tendrá seis pistas por lados, lo que permitirá conducir dos mil vehículos por hora en cada dirección. Además, incluye una línea de metro por el centro.

El fenómeno del Golfo sigue presentando mega proyectos increíbles durante estos ultimos años, fenómeno que empezó a gestarse hace cincuenta años y que alcanza su peak en Dubai.
Canal de Dubai, separa la ciudad en dos. El puente pasaría a ser el sexto atravieso sobre el canal, sumándose a cuatro puentes y un túnel.

The design in the shape of waves makes it see very lewdly, is strange. It likes to me

At present, the projects compete more for the monumentalidad that for the originality
