bahrain friendship bridge maintained by qatar and bahrain causeway foundation characteristics total length 40 km 25 mi location interactive map of qatar bahrain bridge the qatar bahrain causeway also referred to as the qatar bahrain friendship bridge is a planned causeway between the two arab states of qatar and bahrain it was also expected that a ferry service would be established between the two countries in 2017 1 due to the qatar diplomatic crisis and bahrain s siding with saudi arabia plans to construct the bridge had stalled that crisis was resolved in 2021 with the re establishment of diplomatic trade and transportation ties on 17 november 2023 during a meeting between king of bahrain hamad bin isa al khalifa and prime minister of qatar sheikh mohammed bin abdulrahman al thani the plan for the bridge recommenced and they ordered administrations of both countries to realise the project 2 history edit it was announced on 13 december 2008 that construction would start in early 2009 3 and would cost approximately us 2 3 billion to complete as of june 2015 construction had not started and the qatar bahrain causeway project was on hold while the contracting consortium involved with the project was said to be demobilising according to a source at the qatar bahrain causeway foundation qbcf 4 on 14 january 2011 bahrain s foreign minister stated that the project should nevertheless be considered as a must for both countries this is one economic market one economic zone that should be well connected and the bridge is an integral part of that 5 6 on 27 april 2011 an announcement was made quoting an anonymous source of bahrain s al wasat newspaper that construction of the causeway would start in 2011 for completion in 2015 at the cost of approximately 5 billion 7 by december 2012 bahrain s foreign minister was invoking financial turbulence to say that the bridge construction would only be completed by a little before the 2022 fifa world cup 8 overview edit map of qatar and bahrain island in top left the link between the two countries would be approximately 40 km 25 mi in length and support both a road and a railway 9 the link was expected to consist of a number of bridges and be a natural extension of the king fahd causeway that connects bahrain and saudi arabia thus linking the entire region these links include 18 km 11 mi of artificial dikes and 22 km 14 mi of viaducts and bridges these bridges would be 40 m 131 ft in height at places to allow maritime navigation the eastern end of the causeway in qatar would be located at ras eshairij 5 km 3 mi south of the city of zubarah the opposite end of the causeway would link north of askar in the kingdom of bahrain plans for its construction were first made in september 2001 when the danish consultancy cowi signed a dkk 60 million contract for the first phase of the project with the ministry of municipal affairs and agriculture in qatar 10 together with sund bælt partner ltd 11 dhi water environment and the architects of dissing weitling and cowi conducted pre studies of the link 12 13 14 milestones edit the project was reportedly approved for construction on 28 february 2005 to link bahrain near manama to northwest qatar near zubarah as the longest fixed link in the world 15 a formal agreement between the two countries was signed on 11 june 2006 to form a company that would raise the necessary capital and initiate construction 16 it was announced on 30 september 2007 that construction should start within seven months and last 48 months 17 a memorandum of understanding to that effect was then signed between the qatar and bahrain causeway foundation and a consortium of companies led by french construction major vinci construction and the french bridge architects lavigne cheron and the german company hochtief construction ag ccc and qatari diar real estate investment company on 15 november 2008 the qatar bahrain causeway foundation awarded a contract to kbr an engineering company headquartered in houston to provide design project and construction management services for the qatar bahrain road and rail marine crossing 18 in 2009 discussions were entered into to soften the gradient of the bridge to make it more suitable for rail traffic 19 french architects thomas lavigne and christophe cheron joined the consortium led by vinci to design in collaboration with the engineers the causeway and the two main bridges in may 2010 qatari coastguards injured a bahraini fisherman reigniting a dispute over the hawar islands escalating costs and the subsequent diplomatic row helped place the project on the back burner 20 in november 2023 the causeway project was discussed during a meeting in manama between qatar s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs sheikh mohammed bin abdulrahman al thani and bahrain s crown prince 21 on february 22 2024 it has been announced that the proposed land border crossing between bahrain and qatar has received a
