The Municipality of Abu Dhabi in its continuous effort towards sustainable environment has retrofitted lights on Shaikh Zayed Bridge with LED lights.
Replacing the conventional lighting of Shaikh Zayed Bridge with LED lighting reflects the municipality?s commitment with its drive to promote a sustainable environment. Moreover, the new lighting system, which is covered by a 10-year warranty, is eco-friendly as it is mercury-free and does not contain any hazardous materials, and saves power consumption by more than 77 per cent compared to the old traditional lighting.
According to the municipality, they have replaced all traditional lights on Shaikh Zayed Bridge with innovative Light Emitting Diode (LED) system, which gives the bridge a glamorous look cementing its profile as an iconic landmark and featuring world-class standards as well as super innovative and eye-catching architectural designs. The project is also in implementation of the standards of sustainability and rationalization of power consumption initiated in 2012 as per Vision Abu Dhabi 2030.
The use of the new LED technology would definitely help our environment along with the improvement in the lighting quality of the bridge and definitely showcase its features along with its wonderful architectural lines in an impressive and dazzling manner more than any time before.

Excellent article Mohit! Abu Dhabi is a leading emirate when it comes to green development and infrastructure. LED is quickly replacing the earlier used CFLs due to its non-toxic properties and energy efficiency. The bridge now not only is eco-friendly but also magnificent:) Thanks for this piece of information!
