Tayan Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Tayan) is a bridge that crosses Kapuas River in Sanggau, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This bridge is a part of the Trans-Kalimantan Highway (southern route) that connects West Borneo with Central Borneo.[2] The bridge is one of the longest bridges in Borneo.[3] Construction of the bridge took around 900 days, and it opened to traffic on 22 March 2016.[4]
History
[edit | edit source]
Before the bridge was completed, vehicle crossing between Tayan and Piasak was served by two small[citation needed] ferries. It required 20 minutes to cross the river by ferry.[5]
Construction
[edit | edit source]Construction of the bridge started in September 2012.[6] The construction project was mainly funded by a loan from China (90%)[7][8] and was built by China Road and Bridge Corporation.[9][10] The bridge costed 740 billion rupiahs.[10] The bridge was finished on 19 February 2016.[6]
The bridge was inaugurated by President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, and opened on 22 March 2016.[4]
Description
[edit | edit source]
The total length of this bridge is 1,975 meters while the width is about 11 meters. The bridge has 1 lane in each direction. The clearance of the bridge from the surface of river at the high water condition is 13 meters.[11]
The construction of the bridge was divided into two parts. The first part was a 300 meters bridge from Tayan town to Tayan Island, and the second part was a 1,140 meters bridge from Tayan Island to Piasak.[11] The bridge is expected to last for 100 years with maintenance.[4]
