Yemen is in talks with a Dubai company to build a 14-km bridge across the Red Sea to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.
A UAE newspaper said the project, estimated to cost $1 billion, could be launched within two months.
“The company and the government are in negotiations,” a senior Yemeni government official told the Al Bayan newspaper.
The newspaper said that Dubai-based Middle East Development Company was discussing the bridge with both Djibouti and Yemen, which lies on the southwestern edge of the Arabian Gulf.
It said the project would span Yemen’s Red Sea island of Perim across the strait of Bab Al Mandib to Djibouti.
