United Development Company (UDC) has tasked Midmac and Porr joint venture with the construction of Gewan Island’s cable-stayed entrance bridge, the company announced in a statement on Sunday.
The 250-metre long bridge, which rests on two pylons 43 metres above The Pearl-Qatar’s Boulevard, will connect the Lusail Expressway and The Pearl-Qatar’s Boulevard to Gewan Island.
The bridge and the two pylons will feature motifs, decorative lighting and rose gold finishes, which complement Gewan Island’s character.
The construction works will kick off on November 30, 2019 and are due for completion on August 2021, UDC said.
UDC also awarded KEO International the contract for the consultancy of supervision services for the main entrance bridge works, infrastructure works, building and landscape works at Gewan Island.
Ibrahim Jassim al Othman, UDC President and CEO, said, “The contract for the construction of Gewan Island’s entrance bridge and the contract for the consultancy of supervision services for the main entrance bridge works, infrastructure works, building and landscape works at Gewan Island mark the latest milestones in the ongoing development of Gewan Island after UDC awarded the contract for the completion of the second phase of the Island’s marine works”.
Othman added, “The design and construction of this bridge will be a landmark and an architectural and engineering masterpiece after the completion of the construction works”.
Earlier this year, UDC awarded contracts for the completion of the second phase of the marine works at Gewan Island, and signed an agreement with QNB and The Commercial Bank to finance the development of the Island.
Gewan Island project has successfully reached approximately 1 million site working hours without any loss time injuries (LTI).
Gewan Island, UDC’s latest real-estate project, is situated next to The Pearl-Qatar, spanning 400,000 sqm.
Once completed, the Island will accommodate 3,500 residents and a similar number of daily visitors.
Gewan Island will be home to 712 residential units, including 641 apartments, 20 standalone villas located along a placid beach in a quiet and gated seaside community, as well as 21 beachfront villas with private beach and 26 waterfront villas that are equipped with private pontoons for private boats, in addition to 11,000 m² of retail spaces and several multi-use buildings.
