FXFOWLE's proposal for the architectural design of a 1-mile long and 673-feet tall bridge in Dubai was selected by the country's Roads & Transport Authority in a major international design competition.
Some facts via io9:
- It's one mile long and 670 feet tall.
- It will have 12 lanes for traffic.
- It will cost 817 million dollars.
- The design has Sheikh Mohammed's official stamp of approval.
- The bridge will carry more than 2,000 vehicles per hour in each direction.
- A metro line will run across the middle.
- Construction begins in March, with a slated completion date of 2012
Dubai's definitely on the move to create the largest, tallest buildings!
