World Longest Bridge Plan: Osama bin Laden’s half-brother Sheikh Tarek bin Laden has planned to build the world’s longest suspension bridge. This bridge will be built on the Red Sea, which will be 20 miles long. This bridge will connect Africa to South Central, this ambitious bridge will cost billions of pounds to build. This bridge of Tarek Bin has been named ‘Bridge of the Horns’. There is a plan to build only 4 poles in the 20 mile long bridge. This bridge can be a combination of causeway and suspension bridge. It is being told that this bridge will be a part of Al Noor Project.
According to the report of The Sun, there will be a railway crossing on this bridge along with a six-lane road. One lakh vehicles will be able to pass through this route daily. Apart from this, 50 thousand passengers will pass through 4 light rail lines every day. Apart from this, gas and water pipelines will also pass through this bridge. The bridge will also accommodate the huge number of ships that pass through the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. The depth of the sea at the place where this bridge is planned is 300 meters. In such a situation, the towers of the bridge will be built 700 meters high, out of which 300 meters will be in water and 400 meters will be above water.
The city will have world class facilities
Under the new project, two new cities will be built on either end of the ‘Bridge of the Horns’. One of these cities will be named Djibouti and the other city will be named Yemen. Under the ‘Al Noor City’ project, 25 lakh people will be settled on the Djibouti side, while there is a plan to settle 45 lakh people on the Yemen side. Sheikh bin Laden has said that these cities will be known as models of human values. In these, new methods will be used for energy, due to which the entire city will remain green. These cities will have good schools, hospitals, world class universities and sports grounds.
Doubt in completion of project
It is difficult to say when this city will be completed because this project is still in its first phase. The construction of this project was started 16 years ago in 2008, but till now the governments of Yemen and Djibouti have not signed the agreement allowing Al-Noor to proceed. Experts are skeptical about the completion of this project, this is their reasoning behind it. Experts believe that to connect the bridge to major cities like Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Jeddah, Dubai and Riyadh, hundreds of miles away, new highways and railways will have to be built, which is a very difficult task.
