Thanks KT for sharing this, I've been wanting to see how the floating bridge open but haven't got the chance. Finally, you've shared a nice footage. Dubai is so amazing...
After dropping out of uni, I used to go for jogs back in the winter of 2014 and finish right beside Dubai Courts. I'd eventually make my way to the bridge out of curiosity. Back then, there were 2-3 workers that would look after the bridge and be responsible for opening and closing it. Amazing folks that would crack jokes of each other to accommodate me and even shared some 4 AM chai they had in a large flask. You could catch seagulls and pelicans fearlessly sitting beside you and what seemed like the size of a damn Pterodactyl. At about 5:30 AM, a loud alarm would go off. You'd fear it was a missile strike lol but it's really the bridge reconnecting. Turn around, and you'll find cars starting to stack up at both ends, being the first ones to cross the bridge for the day. After reconnecting, I would make my final walk to DCC metro and head home. Made that jog for about 2 winters until the RTA was positioned in the bridge. After that, I never got to enter the bridge and I never met the old folks there, that made the experience worth jogging. Innocent, true and simple men. You'd never expect what happens behind the curtains and the people that work these machines on the daily, making life a whole lot convenient for us to just dub it as 'I managed to save my salik today'. The people of this city are honestly marvelous.
@Airbus A380-800 yeah possibly, but the outside beautiful mosque he talked about might possibly be Rashidiya Grand mosque, and it is among the most well known mosques in Dubai...
Seattle has two huge floating bridges, the original versions could both open for ship traffic. Both have been replaced with new floating bridges that don't open - the mechanism for opening and closing was too big of a headache.
What amuse me here is that i do pass through this bridge every single day over 4yrs now_ but trust me i never knew it's a floating bridge, just wow 😮😮God bless UAE with visionary leaders kudos.
A floating bridge offers unrestricted height for marine crafts to navigate. That means there is no height restrictions while navigating through the canal. If this is a normal overpass bridge there are height constraints for marine crafts to navigate through the canal.
I love Dubai My favourite place in the world I was many times to vizeet Dubai but last 10years unable to vizeet Dubai insha'Allah LL b vizeet soon khuda kary yaa Coronan jald end hojay duunya mukumal save hojay 🤲
Thanks pretty good to use a floating bridge for traffic and it's monitoring for safety regularly. 10 months time amazingly . It's seems to be doing it's job pretty good . Does it also run on solar Power? To be also available for back up system s. I saw use of generator s so just asking because sun available in your Area that would also assist with safety measures as well as conservative of energy efficient to its use daily . I am sure the transportation department s are aware of that as well. GREAT job! I've never seen anything like that. I've seen ferry s used in New York City to transfer cars across the water , but not floating bridge to take traffic over water and move bridge on water. That's very clever!
Thank you 🙏 for 👍thumbs up 🆙👍video about floating bridge 🌁☝️🌁what ever works to get to the other side.till then keep smiling 😊 with floating bridge 🌉 .
What has new technology to do with this bridge? As if it's the first floating bridge... Curacao has one for many decades, and the army uses then for forever already.
@DaniSh Overpass Bridge ? Have noticed the distance between the two ends ? It's very short to have a overpass bridge. Or they have to make it too curved to be stable and so only 4x4 vehicles can cross it.
U missed out few major details. A floating bridge offers unrestricted height for marine crafts to navigate. That means there is no height restrictions while navigating through the canal. If this is a normal overpass bridge there are height constraints for ships to navigate through the canal. Considering the water crafts unlimited height factor and the time required for constructing a tall overpass bridge, we have a beautiful floating bridge!
Khaleejtimes, is the awesome and inspiring information technology department, that explains,expresses,exposes, experience every activity action and access of UAE Dubai is revealed through Khaleejtimes, I am happy to see and know much 👌👍🙏

@@syedsarmadmurtaza1026 i think we are missing the point. Leadership is collecting a team and giving them the tools to execute the grand plan. So HH is definitely responsible for both the success & failure of Dubai. Today people with ideas approach him with wild ideas because they know he can deliver. Come to think of it Saudi with all the money stopped or may be paused building the tallest tower. It isn't easy even if you have the best engineering team & wealth at your disposal.
I worked there for 7 years, what a wonderful country. Its a top destination and offer best lifestyle for me. I definitely go back there.

@@twojzee2505 you just made a whole essay
Though traveling through this on a daily basis, i never knew this much was happening under it👍
Finally. I've been looking for this floating bridge on youtube for years☺

Creativity always at it's reign in Dubai . Blessed be your leaders 🙏🙏
Dubai is beautiful no doubt .. I stayed near to the airport where they have outside beautiful mosque 🕌... my experience was amazing
You mean Rashidiya?
@Airbus A380-800 yeah possibly, but the outside beautiful mosque he talked about might possibly be Rashidiya Grand mosque, and it is among the most well known mosques in Dubai...
An over pass bridge would've been more convenient but Dubai just like we know
You are the truth that no one deserves to hear
There will be one soon dont worry
the khor isn’t big enough to make the overpass high enough for some of the ships to pass. It would have to be too curved for it to be stable.
That's so true
Agreed! But BORING! I was there for a week in December 2018. Everything is over the top and epic to us as tourists. Talk about above and beyond.
😊 i love my dubai, proud to called it my second home ❤
Great work KT, this technology has been introduced in Kenya 🇰🇪 as well and it is up and running,

It may not be a restriction for height but what about the width?
Thanks KT, Searching for in-depth video since a long time.
I. love. Dubai 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
Was really waiting for this video

Any why I need to tell you whyyyyyy

Wow that's so cool
that is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for posting.
Dubai is so beautiful!!

Dubai is number one in New technology
What has new technology to do with this bridge? As if it's the first floating bridge... Curacao has one for many decades, and the army uses then for forever already.
Allah has delivered, inshallah.
Dubai is Dubai ❤️

i miss dubai.😭
Dubai never rests!
I love Dubai 🥰✔.....
nice video but I expected more drone footage
Thanks for khaleej times
ماشاء اللہ

Wow 🥺😳
Only now we are seeing the control room,otherwise it has been there for years.
Such a hi tech bridge!
Nice looking Dubai
They could have built a bridge instead for lesser traffic. Well nice idea for attraction.
wondering will GPS guide to this bridge and then you have make u turn back when closed.....
Why not construct an overpass bridge? 😂 Easier for everyone, cars, ships and no need for traffic diversion everyday 🤷 I mean seriously!
@DaniSh Overpass Bridge ? Have noticed the distance between the two ends ? It's very short to have a overpass bridge. Or they have to make it too curved to be stable and so only 4x4 vehicles can cross it.
well overpass is a bridge but not bridge
@@mightyavocado we have two roads one is floating bridge other is maktoum bridge to reach our destination,but only our option is close

Simple reason dubai have lot of money 💰
1:10 So the bridge is open the entire night and you are not allowed to do a U-turn?
1:00 closes at 10 and opens at 6
He meant to say bridge is opened apart at 10 and closes again together at 6
Ys Bridge is open at 10, like a door opening
So stupid actually
This is amazing😍😍
Really admire the vision of the Dubai ruler.
Realy dubai is good i love daubai

Is this in deira city centre's near?
I love uae
This is mind blowing
Why is it closing and opening at a certain time ....?
I❤️dubai
Well done dubai 👍
Just WOW 😮
man this is so inefficient. Operating cost coupled with maintenance cost would be just dubai level.
I love dubai
This is amazing God bless your country
They just want to be the “first”.
Who doesnt

UAE is a beautiful country Alhamdulila hee rabil aalameen
Wow 😳

I love Dubai. Dubai is taking over the entire world.
Artificial Dubai!
@@alexpashah6160 Which is your country?
I am waiting to see a movie just like Dhoom 4 seens here!😁
Exquisite
Is the bridge floating on salt water or artificial fresh water lake ?
How Dubai to Mumbai metro will be implemented?
Why did they need to make such a dramatic video with dramatic music. Lol
Dubai 🥰🥰🥰🥰🇦🇪
Wow fantastic
Dubai a beautiful place I have been for holidays. This is absolutely a great idea floating bridge can ease the traffic as well night boat rides.
Love from kashmir ❤
Finally.... Thanks KT
Khaleej Times need to give more technical information
Wonderful""❤️
