Temporary bridge over Dubai Creek
By Ashfaq Ahmed, Staff Reporter
Dubai: A floating bridge will be constructed over Dubai Creek to ease traffic congestion on Al Maktoum Bridge.
The bridge, which will be built about half a kilometre from Al Maktoum Bridge, will link Omar Bin Al Khattab Road in Deira to Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road in Bur Dubai.
It will be a temporary structure and is part of the Dubai Road and Transport Authority's swift-solution projects to ease traffic flow in the city, RTA sources told Gulf News.
A permanent bridge will replace the floating structure once the RTA completes the design for the former.
It will be the fourth bridge over Dubai Creek after the Al Maktoum and Al Garhoud bridges and the Ras Al Khor bridge, which is under construction. Details of the floating bridge project will be announced by the authority tomorrow.
just hope dubai traffic situation will be better....

The best and ONLY solution is to force Dubai landlords to charge normal rents and that way people will move back here thus decreasing Sharjah - Dubai traffic.

a bridge is fine, but where's the access point. the clogging up of traffic here actually happens before you get on at garhoud, and after you get off the bridge on maktoum bridge. the less said about shindaga the better.
i say we tax the crap out of sharjah travellers.
