Abu Dubai Construction Journal

The bridges leading towards the new real estate development have been completed. The connection excists out of two massive suspension bridges, spanning the sea between Abu Dubai and the islands. The main infrastructure on the two islands is completed too. The outer-ringroad in the form of a boulevard surrounds both islands. Two elevated single lane road bridges form the inner-ringroad. In the centre runs a boulevard, connecting both ringroads. The outer-ringroad is connected to the expressway leading to Abu Dubai.

@timmystwin
Thnx, I love the 3D engine CitiesXL offers.

A bendy suspension bridge can work in theory, when the span is curved and the cabels from the towers remain staight. But this is not the case here, so technically it is impossible. Unless the cabels dont bare any load ofcourse
