  • Notes
  1. ^ The causeway is composed of bridges, dykes and artificial islands, the lengths of the bridges numbered from 1 to 5 are respectively 934, 2,034, 5,194, 3,334 and 934 metres (3,064, 6,673, 17,041, 10,938 and 3,064 ft) totaling 12,430 metres (40,780 ft).[1]
  2. ^ Like the King Fahd Causeway, the Qatar–Bahrain Causeway includes 18 km (11 mi) of artificial dikes and 22 km (14 mi) of viaducts and bridges. Different designs were proposed for the main channel, two 225 m (738 ft) span cable-stayed bridges,[9] or an arch bridge with a 250 m (820 ft) main span.[10]
