Qatar Bahrain Causeway
__NOTOC__
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 announced on 13 December 2008 that construction would start in early 2009,〔("Work on Qatar-Bahrain causeway to start next month" )〕 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).〔("Qatar-Bahrain Causeway USD4 bln project on hold - says Qatar Bahrain Causeway Foundation" )〕 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".〔("Qatar-Bahrain Causeway still planned - MEED.com - 24 May 2011" )〕〔("GREEN LIGHT" )〕 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.〔("Qatar-Bahrain causeway to be ready by 2015" )〕 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." 〔("Qatar-Bahrain causeway faces delay, says minister" )〕
==Overview==
The link between the two countries would be approximately in length, and support both a road and a railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-11-05 )〕 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 of artificial dikes and of viaducts and bridges. These bridges would be in height at places to allow maritime navigation. The eastern-end of the causeway in Qatar would be located at Ras Ashairij, 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.〔("The Qatar Bahrain causeway, Qatar Bahrain" )〕 Together with Sund & Bælt Partner Ltd.,〔(Sund & Bælt Partner Ltd )〕 DHI Water & Environment and the architects of Dissing Weitling and COWI conducted pre-studies of the link.〔("Qatar - Bahrain Causeway" )〕〔("Modelling Studies for the Qatar/Bahrain Causeway Project" )〕〔("Environmental Impact Assessment Qatar – Bahrain Causeway" )〕
