The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) has appointed ARCHIRODON to design and build a 1.2 km bridge, which is part of the 3.3 km crossing to its main hub island, Shurayrah. The bridge is one of the many infrastructure elements of the Red Sea Development project, a sustainability-based tourism megaproject in Saudi Arabia.

ARCHIRODON, a leading EPC global Group, will provide engineering, procurement and construction support to complete the building of the Shurayrah bridge. The bridge will stretch a total of 1.2 km across the Red Sea, with two small 36 meters sections at each end of the crossing to allow for the movement of marine mammals. Once completed, the bridge will connect Shurayrah Island to the mainland.

The Red Sea Project has already passed numerous milestones and is expected to welcome the first guests by the end of 2022, by opening the international airport and the first hotels. Phase 1 with 16 hotels will be opened as well by the end of 2023. Upon full completion in 2030, the project will include 50 hotels and around 1,300 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites.
