Temburong Bridge
Jambatan Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien
A sea-crossing bridge that opened in 2020, spanning about 30 km and linking across Brunei Bay to Temburong District. It is one of the longest bridges in Southeast Asia.
The official name of the Temburong Bridge is Jambatan Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien (Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge). It opened in March 2020, spans about 30 km in total, including a sea-crossing section of about 14 km, and is one of the longest bridges in Southeast Asia. Chinese and South Korean companies took part in its construction. The bridge departs from Mentiri, on the eastern outskirts of Bandar Seri Begawan, and crosses Brunei Bay and extensive mangrove reserves to reach Temburong District, which was previously cut off from the mainland and required travel through Malaysia or by boat. The trip has been reduced from several hours to about 40 minutes. Stopping on the bridge is not allowed. The best way to enjoy it is to pass over it by car or chartered vehicle on the way to Temburong National Park, with open views of the sea and mangroves on both sides. The pylon design is inspired by traditional Bruneian motifs.
