The Sheikh Zayed Bridge links the island of Abu Dhabi to the mainland and the airport. Zaha Hadid designed it. The article gives the construction period as 1997 to 2010 and the opening date as November 25, 2010. It does not name a client.
The bridge carries four lanes and has a total length of 2,762 feet (842 meters). The principal arch spans 771 feet (235 meters) and stands 197 feet (60 meters) above the water.
The article describes a wave-shaped silhouette. Lighting that changes gradually suggests movement, and pedestrian walkways run along the bridge. It does not state the materials. The article gives November 25, 2010, as the opening date, so 2010 is the year used here.
