Abu Dhabi Commits AED 872 Million to Seven-Bridge Network Linking Ramhan and Jubail Islands to E12 Highway
What happened
Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport announced an AED 872 million project featuring seven bridges and three tunnels to connect Ramhan and Jubail Islands directly to the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Highway (E12).
The Context
* Expanding coastal reach: The development spans over 166,000 square metres, integrating advanced ramps, utility corridors, and road systems directly following previous connectivity expansions linking Al Reem Island to the E12 corridor. * Low-impact construction metrics: Project guidelines mandate energy-efficient LED networks and the recycling of roughly 90% of construction waste, diverting more than 2,200 tonnes of material during execution. * Rapid execution schedule: Advanced structural works are already underway, with the comprehensive Ramhan Island bridge network slated for operational handover by the second quarter of 2027.
The Number
— the total capital allocation directed toward high-density bridge and tunnel infrastructure to systematically de-bottleneck transport corridors across Abu Dhabi's emerging master-planned islands.
Takeaway
Expect the Q2 2027 completion to trigger accelerated handovers and increased logistical efficiency across prime mixed-use developments along the E12 highway corridor.
