Why Bridges ?

Bridges are an essential part of the infrastructure

of any city. In Dubai, and the UAE in general,
there are many bridges which are vital to the
economy and act as an antidote to traffic prob-
lems all over the country. Therefore the building
of bridges, the importance of which is sometimes
shadowed by towers and sky-scrapers, is in fact
one of the most important parts of the civil engi-
neering industry. The Civil Engineering
