Sheikh Khalifa Bridge opens in Pakistan

ABU DHABI: UAE Ambassador to Pakistan Essa Abdullah Al Pasha Al Noeemi inaugurated on Friday the $12.6 million Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Bridge over the Swat River in Pakistan which would greatly help in the development of the area.

The inaugural ceremony was held in the presence of General Ashfaq Kayani, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Abdullah Khalifa Al Ghafli, director of the Emirati Project to Assist Pakistan, and a number of senior Pakistani officials.

Al Noeemi emphasised that human dimension is an essential component in the foreign policy of the UAE.

He said that the completion of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Bridge, funded by Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan for Humanitarian Works, would fulfil the needs of the people of area.

Reduced distance

The bridge will contribute to reaching other areas in a short period of time, pushing the wheel of economic development and improving living standards across the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

“The achievement of the UAE project to help Pakistan is a result of continuous efforts and co-ordination between the Pakistani government authorities, civilians and the project management.” Al Ghafli said in a speech that the opening of the bridge on the Swat River is the translation of the generous initiatives and instructions by the UAE leadership to support developmental assistance to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The bridge is one of the most important and essential bridges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

It is also regarded as one of the main crossing points for the people of the area and a central connection to the main road in the province.

The bridge would serve a population of around 70,000.

Its length is 330 metres with a height of six metres and the capacity is more than 5,000 vehicles per daily.

material used

All the materials of the bridge were made in the UK and it has special technical and engineering specifications, which were applied during the construction process and according to international standards.

It is resistant to earthquakes and floods. Along the walls of the bridge there is a block resisting a water length of up to 900 metres.

The concrete used in the bridge is resistant to erosion, corrosion and humidity. The lighting system is operated by solar energy.
