为2022世界杯而建：多哈湾 Sharq Crossing大桥设计方案

                        Calatrava’s “SharqCrossing” Planned for Doha Skyline

这个横跨多哈湾近10千米的项目SharqCrossing，为3架互相连通的大桥组，由著名建筑师圣地牙哥•卡拉特拉瓦设计，以迎接2022年世界杯的到来。



Located in Doha, SharqCrossing is a set of three interconnected bridges spanningalmost ten kilometres in the Doha Bay. Designed by the famed architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge will connect the city’scultural district in the north to Hamad International Airport and the centralbusiness district in West Bay. The bridges, which are designed to accomodate asmany as 2,000 vehicles an hour per lane, are also flanked by a series of subseatunnels to manage and direct the flow of traffic across the bay.



大桥连通了哈马德国际机场北部的文化街道和西湾的中央商业街，每小时每车道可通行2000辆车，两侧为一系列海底通道，以管理和引导海湾两岸的车流。该项目的设计不只是为了缓解车流量，双层的西湾桥也包括由高架行人道连通的公园。卡塔尔公共工程署署长H.E Eng. Nasser BinAli Al-Mawlawi表示：“Sharq Crossing是一件杰出的公共工程设计作品，也是多哈现有公路网络的一条重要干道。它将很快成为举世闻名的地标，成为多哈的城市符号。”



“Sharq Crossing is an engineering masterpiece of design,” said Ashghal president H.EEng. Nasser Bin Ali Al-Mawlawi. “And while providing an important new artery to Doha’s existing road network, it will be instantly recognisable across the world and will be an emblem for Qatar.”



But the project is designed to accommodate more than just vehicle traffic. The double-decked West Bay Bridge also incorporates a recreational park that can be accessed by anelevated walkway. It will include a public recreational park as well as hospitality facilities that connect to the central business district and offer magnificent views of the city.

While the bridge is designed to accomodate the traffic of the rapidly expanding city, it is also one of the many complex projects (such asZaha Hadid’s controversial stadium) the city is undertaking for the World Cup in 2022.

“Architecture for public works humanizes the natural landscape and serves the community,” explained Calatrava. “The Sharq Crossing project for Doha is a great opportunity to develop an exceptional and grand piece of public work.”
