Dubai to Build the World's Largest Arch Bridge in 2012


If any real city on our planet can claim an active stake in creating the urban landscape of the future, it's probably Dubai. Artificial islands arranged in the shape of the world? Check. The world's only seven-star hotel? Check. And in 2012, it will also become home to the largest, tallest arch bridge ever.

 Here's some info on the bridge as envisioned by New York architecture firm Fxfowle:
- It's one mile long and 617 feet tall.
- It will have 12 lanes for traffic.
- It will cost 817 million dollars.
- 1-mile in length.
- The design has Sheikh Mohammed's official stamp of approval.
- The bridge will carry more than 2,000 vehicles per hour in each direction.
- A metro line will run across the middle.
- Construction begins in March, with a slated completion date of 2012. Images by Fxfowle


Isn't this awesome....
Some friends forget, Some move away
Some keep silent, Some just change
But I’m not 1 of them, I’m here just 4 two moments
now & 4ever...
