The proposed Al Raha Beach Resort project comprises a hotel building, shopping mall, restaurants, Royal Chalets, public huts and access bridges for Royal Chalets and Marina. The two bridges designed from a part of Al Raha Beach Resort Project. These bridges structures provide access to Royal Chalets to be built on artificial islands (i.e. landfills). Each bridge has two traffic lanes with total carriageway width of 6.0 m. The bridge decks are continuous with integral abutments eliminating expansion joints altogether. The joint free structure provides better ride, enhances the durability of the structure and reduces the maintenance cost.
