Al Garhoud Bridge, Road bridge over Dubai Creek in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Al Garhoud Bridge spans 520 meters in length and rises 16 meters above the water, featuring 14 lanes of traffic in total.

The initial Al Garhoud Bridge opened in 1976 as the second bridge over Dubai Creek, while the current structure replaced it between 2006 and 2008.

The bridge architecture incorporates regional elements with piers shaped like sand dunes and an underside structure that follows wave patterns.

The structure accommodates 16,000 vehicles per hour and operates under the Salik toll system, which was implemented on July 1, 2007.

The bridge features 1,142 LED lights, with 848 blue luminaires creating water illusions and 294 white ones highlighting the sand dune formations.
