DHI Undertakes Environmental Studies for Causeway Project

Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) Water and Environmental and COWI A/S have been appointed as consultants for the next phase of the project to build the world's longest fixed link, between Qatar and Bahrain in the Middle East.

The 45km long connection will link the West Coast of Qatar near the Zubarah fortress with the East Coast of Bahrain south of its capital Manamah.

The link is expected to consist of a number of bridges combined with roads constructed on embankments and will be a natural extension of the King Fahd Causeway that connects Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, thus linking the entire region.
