Previously, those crossing over from Bur Dubai to Deira or the other way around had to take the Al Shindagha Tunnel, which passes underneath the Dubai Creek.

Al Shindagha Corridor Project
The Infinity Bridge forms part of the Al Shindagha Corridor Project, which is estimated to cost AED 5.3 billion or $1.44 billion when completed in full. The Al Shindagha Corridor Project is expected to lend a fillip to several infrastructure projects in the area, such as the Dubai Seafront, Deira Islands, Port Rashid, and Dubai Maritime City. This is apart from serving Bur Dubai and Deira, the western and eastern parts of the Dubai Creek respectively.
Future Traffic Conditions
The Infinity Bridge has been opened with an eye on Dubai’s future traffic conditions. It has been projected that travelling across the Al Shindagha Corridor will take 104 minutes in 2030. The Infinity Bridge cuts short the travel time to just 16 minutes.
