Name Announced for New Bridge Connecting Wynn Al Marjan Island to Dubai and Beyond
Ras Al Khaimah’s landmark infrastructure link is officially moving forward. The Wynn Bridge, a 548-metre boulevard-style connection linking Wynn Al Marjan Island to the UAE’s main highway network, is now 48% complete and on track for delivery in late 2026.
Why it matters: This bridge is not just a road project. It is the critical spine that connects the UAE’s first integrated resort destination to Dubai, E311, E611, and the wider Emirates — fundamentally changing accessibility, tourism flow, and real estate dynamics in Ras Al Khaimah.
