Kuwait seeks builder for 36km causeway
Kuwait's Ministry of Public Works has started the prequalification process for the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmed Al Sabah Causeway, running 36km across Kuwait Bay. International companies or consortia have until 7 February to return the prequalification applications. The design and build project will include 27km of low-level bridge across the bay with an elevated main section spanning up to 200m across a navigation channel. There will also be a 3km elevated road, approach roads and a 25ha island housing maintenance and emergency services. Tenderers will be provided with a concept design. The competition will be open internationally and only prequalified bidders will be invited to submit tenders.
