This new bridge in AD
 
My DH is in AD a couple of times a week and can't figure out how to get onto the new bridge, he reckons there are no signposts :confused: Can any of you AD folk help :)

there are loads of signposts. coming from dxb follow the signs to yas island, marina circuit, saadiyat island etc. you will pass rabha (with the round hospital) on your right, then the road takes a right, past green fruit and veg market, pass big mosque at al bahia, and then just after that big new junction, if you come to the khalifa a and airport turnoffs with the big hoardings which are advertising the f1 and yas island etc then you have missed it. going this way comes into the mina port area just up from the "british" club they have completely changed the road layouts up there.

Sign posting at this end (on the Island) is pretty poor. Tonnes of signs over at the Al Raha end though.

Good grief! At first I didn't know what mangled mess of words to expect when I saw that Busybee2 had responded to a request for directions...but I am shocked.....you've put commas in your text. Do I spot a couple of full-stops as well?!:)

signage from Abu Dhabi end is terrible - hope they improve it before race day
