Highway 60 which is the long bit of highway that flies over Shuwaikh is now open again. The bridge which previously use to drop you at the start of the free trade zone now flies over it landing you at the very far end of it. This bridge will also soon connect to the world’s longest bridge, the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmed Causeway which is set to open next month.
I drove on the new bridge extension this past weekend and it reminded me of the old video game Tokyo Highway Challenge. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bridge turns out to be popular with street racers especially considering there is only one speed camera.

highway the flies over Shuwaikh – you mean that flies over Shuwaikh.
You’ve got serious balls taking the lotus to Shuwaikh. I needed to take my amg to get maintenance work, got a lorry to carry it there.
“it reminded me of the old video game Tokyo Highway Challenge.”
Same. Well, not that specific game per say, but same concept.
Looks both appealing and tempting! Perfect for blastin Miami Night 1984 – Ocean Drive ♥
Hope they don’t install more cams tho
It’s the Devil Z!
Any exit (current or planned) to 1st Ring or Gulf Road?
The exit to and from Road 80 are open this bridge (rpad 60) and that (80) meets the 1st RR directly at Sheraton roundabout.
I’m happy to say the hardcore ones will not 🙂 cause there’s no emergency lane
Meanwhile , Roads to partially close for repairs!
