The Bahrain-Qatar bridge, at 40 kilometres long, will be the longest
bridge in the world, and it is
estimated that it will take over four
years to complete. The cause way will begin in Raas Asheerj, close to
Al Zubara fort, and end in the North Askar area in Bahrain, and will
act as an extension to the King Fahd causeway that connects Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia.
Due to its length, the causeway will not consist of a single bridge but of a number of roads on a total of 14 km of dams connected by 22 of bridges and viaducts over deep water. This will include two 400-metre cable stayed bridges over shipping channels. There are also plans for a central island.
The initial projected costs were estimated at 2 billion US dollars.
However, a new plan to add a railway to the bridge is currently being
studied. These plans, if carried out, will add another 5 billion
dollars to the final cost.
