YAS HOTEL LINK
Completed in November 2009, this modern bridge connects two sections of the YAS Hotel and passes over the Formula one race track in Abu Dhabi. With two deck levels, it spans approximately 150 feet and has a variable width, 72 feet at one end, 40 feet at the midspan and 73 feet at the other end. The structure is completely enclosed in a glass structure that elegantly compliments the architecture of the building.
