Connecting Lebanon to Cyprus with a bridge

Lebanon Cyprus

Beirut Night Life posted about an American company who’s currently proposing a 150Km bridge connecting Dbayeh to Limassol to allow reaching Cyprus from Lebanon (or vice versa) within 80minutes. Using this bridge will be subject to paying a certain fee, and it will be owned by the American company for the 10 years.

Can you imagine how many things can go wrong if this projects gets approved?

  1. No matter how this highway will be designed, Lebanese drivers will always manage to find a way to make a u-turn on it.
  2. Some people will drive for like 20 minutes then park on the side, set their arguileh, and start grilling some meat, because you know, picnic by the sea!
  3. Others will just use it to jump into the sea, because its sides appear to be higher than the sidewalk in Ain El Mraiseh.
  4. After the 10 years pass by, the Lebanese side of the highway will always have potholes.
  5. Zouzou Ebba and the gang will never know where this highway leads to, since they will just use the first few hundred meters of it for racing, then make a u-turn and go back to Dbayeh.
  6. Shall I go on??

    This post cracked me up! I can’t stop laughing at the thought of people just parking at the side of the road and starting picnics!

      That’s what we’re excellent at! Our man2al and arguileh are always ready to ruin any spot on this planet!

    While I find this project unrealistic, I do not agree with you guys lol.

    One of the examples that shows that the Lebanese are not after all that messy, are the public phone cabins. Many thought that they are going to be destroyed after a short while and, we must admit, they resisted quite well after all.

    Also, as no shoppings can open on this highway, no one has the reason to stop…

      I totally agree. Adding also that if it’s managed by an abroad company, I’m sure that a lot of rules, restrictions, radars will be settled. And I do believe and witness a lot of improvement in our Lebanese roads, sure they are things that don’t change and are still unacceptable; but let’s be positive and see the stuff that did improve..

    You guys are too dumb. You can’t cross this bridge without paying money. It’s an entrance fee concept, so instead of paying a plane ticket, you’ll pay much less. So all the “zouzou ebba” and fishermen wont be able to drive on it. They won’t be able to afford it …

    Haida l shatreen fi , l maskhara as if you are coming from another planet .. look at the real problem , its not about the poor sitting beside the sea to have lunch or watever, the problem is our political situation that does not afford anything for anyone .. I see that you should thank god that the situation in Lebanon is not worse than what it is now because we have no security & no regulations at all & it could have been really much worse if it was in another area …… with respect.
