Etihad Rail has shared an image of a crucial bridge spanning one of Abu Dhabi’s busiest roads.

Al Wathba bridge allows trains to pass over the E22 Abu Dhabi to Al Ain road and is a vital piece of infrastructure on the UAE’s rail network.

Etihad Rail, which posted the image to its social media on Friday, said the bridge was built in 13 months using about 10,000 cubic metres of concrete, 3,500 tonnes of steel reinforcement and scores of concrete beams.
