There has been a significant investment in Sowwah Island’s infrastructure
that has created a Middle East first – a radical multi-tiered network of roads,
cycleways and walkways.
Sowwah Island is built on a 14.25 m podium, with roads laid out on two levels,
separating general through traffic, local and pedestrian passes and residential
and service access. Pavements, lobbies and pedestrian access are all above
ground and utilities, storage and maintenance are accessed from below.
The new bridges and highways combined with generous parking will make
traveling by road easy and convenient.
Climate controlled, shop-lined underground passageways will create a pleasant
environment for pedestrians, who will be able to cover the entire island on foot
and will connect every part of the island: transport hubs, shopping malls,
leisure venues.
The focal point of that integrated network is the 450,000 sqm Sowwah Square
complex of commercial towers and luxury retail, international hotels and the
Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
