Al Maktoum Bridge, Steel bridge in Dubai Creek, United Arab Emirates.
The Al Maktoum Bridge spans across Dubai Creek, connecting the districts of Deira and Bur Dubai through six traffic lanes.
The bridge opened in 1973 under Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum's direction as the first permanent crossing over Dubai Creek.
The bridge design reflects Dubai's early infrastructure development phase, incorporating traditional architectural elements with modern engineering requirements.
Vehicles crossing the bridge in both directions must pay a Salik toll, except during the Floating Bridge closure from 10 PM to 6 AM.
The structure contains hydraulic mechanisms that allow the bridge to open, enabling large vessels to navigate through Dubai Creek.
