Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing, also known as Sixth Crossing, was reported in 2008[update] as a future bridge in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1][2][3] If completed, it will become the world's longest arch bridge, with a main span 667 metres (2,188 ft) long. The bridge's overall length will be 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi).[1][2] The bridge will be 64 metres (210 ft) wide and will rise 15 metres (49 ft) above the water.[1] The bridge, designed by FXFOWLE Architects,[4] with lighting by AWA Lighting Designers,[5] will cost AED 2.5 billion.[1] It will be a part of a AED 3 billion roads project near The Lagoons.[2] The bridge is 75% complete as of August 2022.[6][7]
The bridge will link the localities of Al Jaddaf and Bur Dubai. It will have six lanes of traffic in each direction and will be able to carry 20,000 vehicles per hour.[2] In the center will be a track for Dubai Metro's Green Line.[1] In December 2022, RTA has opened Phase I of the Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Improvement Corridor Project in Dubai.[8]
