Concept: Longest And Tallest Spanning Arch Bridge
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
No one is taking the future envisioned by 99% percent of anime a step closer to reality than Dubai, who recently revealed their selection for their newest “Look how much money we have, motherfuckers!” building project, the 6th Crossing:
FXFOWLE INTERNATIONAL’s proposal for the architectural design of a 1.7km (1 mile) and 205m (615 feet) bridge in Dubai was selected by the country’s Roads & Transport Authority in a major international design competition. The firm’s winning bridge design further advances the infrastructure and transportation initiatives in Dubai. FXFOWLE’s design makes the 6th Crossing the largest and tallest spanning arch bridge in the world.
The project is slated to cost upwards of eight hundred and seventeen million dollars. It will truly be a sight to behold, and will most assuredly be devoid of filthy foreigners and their legal, over the counter medication. Hooray!

Dubai has so much money, I don’t even think they’re human anymore.

they aren’t .. they lock up people for having a microscopic grain of marijuana on the sole of their shoe, or have a poppy seed on them which fell off a sandwich bun.
