Wadi Mozaa Bridge
Strategic Importance
Structural Components of the Bridge
The bridge consists of five main spans, each 20 meters apart.
Every span rests on two massive reinforced concrete piers, each measuring 4.5 meters in width and 1.5 meters in thickness.
The piers are connected by crown beams, supporting five primary girders above them.
At both ends of the bridge, retaining walls were constructed to ensure lateral stability and durability.
Rubber bearings were installed between the girders and deck to absorb shocks and maintain long-term structural performance.
Deck System and Prefabricated Construction
A total of 45 secondary girders were installed above the main girders to support the concrete deck slab.
All concrete components — including the secondary girders and 800 precast deck slabs — were manufactured off-site.
The slabs were carefully installed and interconnected, after which the final concrete layer was poured on-site to complete the deck.
Quality Assurance and Technical Standards
The project was executed by Yaram Trading & Contracting, which ensured the highest levels of quality and precision. A modern concrete batching plant was established at the project site, guaranteeing that the concrete met all technical specifications and that execution efficiency remained consistently high.
Improved national and international connectivity
Strengthened logistics and cargo handling operations
Support for humanitarian and relief missions
Increased safety and compliance with global aviation standards
The bridge serves as a vital link that connects surrounding districts, enhances trade routes, and facilitates safer, faster transportation for local communities..
