| Status | | | On Hold | |
| Scope | | | The Qatar - Bahrain causeway project calls for the design and construction of a 40 km two-lane dual carriageway motorway between Qatar and Bahrain. The road will run over a total of 18 km of embankments where the sea is shallow and 22 km of viaducts and bridges over deep water, including two 400 metre cable-stayed bridges over shipping channels. | |
| Schedule | | | The project is still on hold. | |
| Remark | | | The bridge will create a direct link between Qatar and Bahrain, promoting trade and travel between the two countries. At present, the journey by road takes five hours; with the causeway, it will only take about 30 minutes. The project will have to comply with stringent environmental standards and ecological requirements. QDVC is a Qatari subsidiary owned 51% by Qatari Diar and 49% by VINCI Construction Grands Projets. | |
