The huge bridge that connects Kuwait City to Jahra is now open. Last week I was heading back from Sabbiya to Kuwait City and got on the newly opened Jahra bridge and damn did it save me so much time. I think I probably saved anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes just because of the bridge. It’s super long and flies over all the small roads, traffic lights and roundabouts that you would usually have to take. Only downside at the moment is that the bridge ends as a two lane road outside of Cozmo/McDonalds Kaifan, so there was a bit of traffic at the end as the cars funneled, but the amount of time I saved still made up for it.
Oh and just a small note, there are no speed cameras on the bridge at the moment.
Update: Ok so you need to watch out for the parked speed cameras like the one pictured below. (Thanks Forzaq8)

oh my god it’s real
the construction in that area will never end
I also thought there were no speed cameras until one of those car cameras got me at 180 km/hr… Ouch.
Car camera on the bridge? I find that hard to believe since the bridge doesn’t even have an emergency lane as you can see in the picture above which would make it pretty dangerous to park a car on the side of it…
I mean I’m just telling you what I saw, and it had a sign before it that said camera so…
Yeah I know, I’m just surprised they’d do that
Well… The space divided by yellow lines on both d sides of d road (as seen in both d pix) r called Emergency lanes… *facepalm*
Duh, but in the photo above you can see the left lane isn’t a full cars width so didn’t think the right side could also fit a car.
I’ve literally seen a moving car cam on the street that goes to Kheiran. it was couple of years back though.
It’s not smooth, very bumpy along the way. tender gone bad.
There are 2 car speed cameras, one on each side. just saw them.
Are we all talking about the same bridge here? I think we might be all discussing different branches of this bridge
Definitely 2 speed cameras on bridge, i second AA very jumpy let alone bumpy hehe
Excuse me for asking this strange question, but are there exits along the way or you pretty much have to wait until you get to the end?
There was at least one that takes u towards the 4th ring road
I usually see parked car cameras there. They usually have one for each direction at random places.
I see them pretty much every time I’m on the bridge, and I take the bridge often.
there is a speed camera on the way
a parked car and they had a warning
What happened to the service lane on the left? Why so narrow?
i think cuz its a bridge
