Youtefa Bridge
Jembatan Youtefa
A red arch bridge spanning Youtefa Bay, opened in 2019. It is a new landmark of Jayapura and especially photogenic at dusk and at night.
The Youtefa Bridge is about 730 meters long, with a red steel arch as its main span. Completed in 2019, it links Hamadi and Holtekamp and greatly shortens the trip from the city to the Skouw border crossing with Papua New Guinea. The bridge sits against a backdrop of mountains and crosses Youtefa Bay. It is Jayapura's most photogenic landmark, and it looks especially good at sunset and under night lights. The bridge has a pedestrian walkway, and on weekends locals often come to stroll and take photos. Viewing areas and food stalls are at both ends. You can reach it by taxi or ride-hailing app.
