The Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC), the master developer of tourism, cultural and residential projects in Abu Dhabi, has completed the development of Hodariyat Bridge, UAE's largest cable-stay bridge, which links Abu Dhabi city's western coastline to the Hodariyat Island.

The impressive bridge was successfully completed six months ahead of schedule and has now been handed over to the Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi.

The 1.3 km-long bridge provides a 29-metre vertical clearance, and carries six lanes of traffic and two walkways. The suspended bridge is the biggest of its kind in the UAE; its height allowing ships to pass underneath it. More than 650 people and a total of five million man hours were dedicated to the timely completion of the bridge. Work began in October 2009 and was concluded in March 2012. – Khaleej Times
