Hamdan opens bridge in Western Region

ABU DHABI — The UAE is currently undertaking massive infrastructure projects at par with international best practices thanks to the sound directives by the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and close follow up of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, according to Shaikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Western Region.

Shaikh Hamdan made these remarks while inaugurating the Ras Ghamis-Gaga Island bridge in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi.

The project is one of the major projects the Abu Dhabi Department of Transport (DoT) is carrying out to upgrade its road and transport infrastructure under Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, which recognises the importance of transport in shaping the future of the

The 2.6km-long waterway has a water bridge stretching 520 metres and a dual road of two lanes of 3 metres wide. — Wam
