Merah Putih Bridge
Jembatan Merah Putih
A cable-stayed bridge spanning Ambon Bay, opened in 2016. Its lights reflected on the bay at night make it Ambon's new landmark.
The Merah Putih Bridge is named after the colors of the Indonesian flag. It spans the inner part of Ambon Bay, linking Galala and Rumah Tiga on either side, and is about 1 kilometer long. It opened in 2016 and greatly shortened the trip from the city to the airport in the north. The white pylons and red cables of the cable-stayed bridge stand out against the bay on sunny days, and the lights change color after dark. Stopping on the bridge is generally not advisable. Take photos from the open seaside spaces or hillside viewpoints at either end instead.
