Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway
جسر الشيخ جابر الأحمد الصباح
A sea bridge spanning Kuwait Bay with a total length of about 36 km, one of the world's longest bridges, with a cable-stayed section and an artificial island in its middle.
Sheikh Jaber Causeway opened in 2019, linking Shuwaikh in Kuwait City with Subiya on the north shore of the bay. It is about 36 km long, of which roughly 27 km is over open water. The cable-stayed towers in the middle section are shaped after traditional dhows, and along the way there are service areas on artificial islands. Visitors can drive or hire a car to cross and enjoy the bay views and the sunset, but the bridge itself is not open to pedestrians. A round trip from the city center takes about 1.5 hours.
