The Sheikh Zayed Bridge, the longest bridge in the Dubai M2ge9
On a recent trip to the Middle East, I was pleased to discover a beautiful modern structure by a well-known Iraqi architect. Like most of Zaha Hadid's projects, the Sheikh Zayed Bridge consists of gentle curves and arches instead of sharp angles, corners, and squares.
The bridge is located in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It connects the mainland to the island of Abu Dhabi. It is 842 meters long and four lanes wide. Some people have said it resembles a concrete ribbon. Others have said the shape looks like waves. I think the bridge's curved lines represent the hills of the Rub' al Khali Desert's sand dunes. Indeed, the bridge looks almost white in the strong sunlight of the day. At night, however, softly changing colored lights dance beautifully across the bridge's three arches.
