West Bay Bridge:
West Bay Bridge is a two-deck tied arched structure incorporating a longitudinal park and cable car system, extending to an island of terraced levels providing recreational facilities and a marina. The longitudinal park extends via an elevated walkway, from the proposed Corniche Park to the bridge portal island offshore from the West Bay area.

The bridge touches land with a small pedestrian bridge and a shaded canopy for cable-car users while road traffic is maintained through an immersed tube tunnel.

Cultural City Bridge:
Cultural City Bridge comprises of a series of cable-stayed structures that skim across the bay in a pattern of descending scales creating a long bridge thus reducing the lengths of the submerged tunnel links.

Sharq Bridge:
