Suramadu Bridge

Suramadu Bridge

The Suramadu Bridge ("Jembatan Suramadu"), also known as the Surabaya-Madura Bridge, is a bridge with cable-stayed section currently under construction between Surabaya on the island of Java and the town of Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. It will cross the Madura Strait.

The bridge will have two lanes in each direction plus an emergency lane and a dedicated lane for motorcycles. When complete in 2009 [http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/04/07/suramadu-bridge-expected-be-completed-next-year.html Suramadu bridge expected to be completed next year | The Jakarta Post ] ] (scheduled), the 5.4-kilometer bridge will be the first land link between the two islands and the longest bridge in Indonesia. The cable-stayed portion will have three spans with lengths 192 m, 434 m and 192 m. The total cost of the project, including connecting roads, has been estimated at 3 trillion rupiah (US$320 million).

Construction was started on August 20, 2003. In July 2004, a girder collapsed, killing one worker and injuring nine others. Work on the bridge halted at the end of 2004 due to lack of funds, but was restarted in November 2005. As of March 2008, the bridge is 76.27% complete.
