WHAT IS BRIDGE ADVERTISING?
Bridge advertising is a large-format Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising format displayed on selected authorised bridge, flyover, gantry and related road structures.
Depending on the individual advertising asset, bridge media may include static banners, advertising panels, extended-format displays, gantry advertising or selected digital displays.
Available dimensions, materials, advertising faces, viewing direction, illumination and digital capabilities vary according to the individual structure, location and media owner.

BRIDGE ADVERTISING DIRECTION & ADVERTISING FACE
Bridge advertising structures can provide different advertising faces according to the bridge location, road alignment and available media inventory. An advertising face may be oriented towards traffic travelling in one direction, while selected structures may provide separate advertising opportunities for opposing traffic flows.
When selecting a bridge advertising location, advertisers should consider the exact advertising face, direction of travel, viewing distance, road alignment and nearby destinations rather than selecting a bridge based only on its general location.
Advertising-face availability varies by structure and campaign dates and should be confirmed before booking.
BRIDGE ADVERTISING RULES & APPROVALS IN ABU DHABI
Bridge advertising in Abu Dhabi should use authorised advertising structures and comply with the requirements applicable to the specific bridge, gantry or road structure, advertising face, media owner and location. Requirements can vary according to the structure, display dimensions, direction of travel, advertising format and individual site.
Authorised Bridge Advertising Locations
Advertising should only be displayed on authorised bridge, flyover, gantry or related advertising assets where commercial advertising is permitted. The presence of a bridge or road structure does not automatically mean that advertising is available on it.
Exact locations, advertising faces, dimensions, directions of travel and current availability should be confirmed before booking or production.
Advertising Content & Artwork
Advertising creative should comply with applicable UAE and Abu Dhabi advertising requirements together with the specifications of the selected bridge advertising asset.
Final artwork should be prepared according to the required dimensions, resolution, materials and production specifications. Certain advertising categories may require additional documentation or approvals, and final creative may require approval before production or display.
Road, Structural & Installation Safety
Bridge advertising should comply with the road, structural and public-safety requirements applicable to the individual advertising structure and location.
Advertising should not obstruct traffic signs or signals, interfere with driver visibility or compromise the safe operation of the road or structure. Installation methods, materials, dimensions, maintenance and removal should follow the technical requirements applicable to the selected advertising asset.
Media-Owner & Authority Requirements
Approval and technical requirements depend on the specific bridge location, structure and advertising asset. Campaigns may be subject to requirements from the relevant authority, infrastructure owner, media owner or authorised media operator.
