Bridge 路 United Arab Emirates

What total cost did Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority report for the completed 2007 Floating Bridge?

Dubai's Floating Bridge spans Dubai Creek between Deira and Bur Dubai. Completed in 2007, the 360-metre temporary crossing has three traffic lanes in each direction and a movable section for marine traffic. Dubai Roads and Transport Authority chairman Mattar Al Tayer reported a total project cost of AED 155 million. This figure prices the Floating Bridge, not the separate Business Bay Crossing or a future permanent crossing.
