Project / business overview
The 22.4 Km Freeway is a fast track project connecting the Abu Dhabi - Dubai highway to Saadiyat Island through the Yas Island, Fahid Island and Bu habel Island including the construction of a major interchange and four large Creek Crossings in pairs carrying each carriageway independently with a central rail bridge to accommodate the future rail line at the centre median.
The Abu Dhabi - Dubai Freeway interchange will be one of the largest in the UAE when completed comprising twelve bridges and four underpasses.
The Freeway is a dual five lane with hard shoulders including a provision for light Rail way at the centre median. The Shahama Saadiyat Freeway project is divided into two separate contracts (i.e. Package 1A and 2A), where Package 1A is being constructed by the Belgium Contractor Six Construct and Package 2A is being constructed by the Japanese Contractor Taisei.
