Located at Nord-Malé-Atoll in Maldives, the important connection engineering crossed the Gaadhoo Koa Strait, connecting Male Island, Airport Island (Hulhule Island) and Hulhumale Island. The whole project is as long as 2.0km, including 1.39km for the bridge, whose spans are in 18×30m (approach bridge) +(100m+2×180m+140m+100m+60m) main bridge + 3×30m (approach bridge) structure. The main bridge is a six-span concrete girder and composite girder V-shape pier rigid frame bridge with the length of 760m. The approach bridge is a  prestressed concrete I-shape girder bridge with the length of 630m. The approach lines on two sides are 610m long.
