Malacca Strait Bridge

Malacca Strait Bridge

The Malacca Strait Bridge is a new bridge under proposal that would connect Telok Gong, near Masjid Tanah, Malacca state in Peninsula Malaysia, Malaysia to Rupat Island and Dumai in Sumatra island, Indonesia. The project has been submitted for government approval, and is expected to take 10 years to complete. Once completed, the 48-km long bridge will be the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. The project will have two cable-stayed bridges and one suspension bridge, both the longest in the world.
However, in March 2013 during a visit to Germany, president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that the construction of the planned Sunda Strait Bridge would have priority. He said that four years earlier he had turned down a request from Malaysia to support the construction of the Malacca Strait Bridge because the construction of such a bridge would facilitate the depletion of resources in Sumatra 'by Asia'.
The construction of a bridge of this kind would have numerous implications, one of which would be the implications for the management of ship movements through the Malacca Straits, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world.
