Bahrain-Qatar Causeway Construction to Start in 2010

Construction of the world's longest marine causeway that will link the Persian Gulf states of Qatar and Bahrain will begin in the first quarter next year, with completion due by 2015, the official in charge of the project said Sunday.

Jaber Ali Al Mohannadi, general manager of the Qatar-Bahrain Causeway Foundation, said at a conference in Abu Dhabi that the cost of the 40-kilometer causeway project was about 20% lower than originally anticipated, due to a drop in raw material and equipment prices as a result of the world financial crisis.

Mr. Mohannadi didn't provide a cost estimate for the project, which industry officials have put at as much as $3 billion to $4 billion.
