UAE: Dubai Infinity Bridge to open to traffic on Sunday
Dubai’s Infinity Bridge will open to traffic for the first time on Sunday, January 16.
To facilitate its opening, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Friday announced that Al Shindagha Tunnel will be temporarily closed for two months in the direction from Deira to Bur Dubai.
The closure is required to complete the link between the Infinity Bridge and the new bridges with Al Shindagha Tunnel.
The bridge improves the link between Deira and Bur Dubai by increasing the total number of lanes crossing Dubai Creek from 48 to 60. It features a combined 3-metre track for pedestrians and cyclists.
