First, Check Out The Only Maritime Railway Bridge in The UAE, Connecting Abu Dhabi To The Mainland

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced the completion of its first sea rail bridge, a key Etihad Rail project that will connect Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port to the mainland once it becomes operational.

The train across this bridge will carry cargo from the port’s major container facility to major hubs across the country and beyond.

The bridge is part of the second phase of Etihad Rail’s project to connect the region to make freight transport more efficient and sustainable. Each fully loaded train crossing the bridge will take 300 trucks off UAE roads, reducing freight and trading costs and benefiting the environment.

Etihad Rail Engineering Director Adriaan Wolhuter said the newest bridge is one of the most complex and challenging bridges the company has ever built.

The only maritime railway bridge in the United Arab Emirates required a significant amount of detailed design and construction work to ensure its successful completion.
