As if Dubai was missing landmarks, it is planning to build... the tallest and largest arch bridge in the world. Dubai likes it bigger, taller, and more expensive than anyone else. It was just a matter of time before they decided to build this. The bridge will bet 670 feet tall and will have 12 lanes of traffic. This means it will be able to carry up to 2,000 vehicles per hour. It should be finished for 2012 and it will cost about $817 million.

Dubai will soon have its metro/tram. The ABS consortium (Alstom, Besix and Sercoa), has signed with Dubai's Road and Transport Authorities (RTA) a 550 million dollars contract for the first phase of the tram that will connect Al Safooh to Dubai. Alstom will receive 300 million dollars for this phase. It will use an APS system (without catenary), which preserves the urban setting and fits in perfectly with the modernity of the city of Dubai.
