Kuala Terengganu Drawbridge
Jambatan Angkat Kuala Terengganu
A river-mouth drawbridge opened to traffic in 2019. The span between its two towers can be raised to let ships pass. When it is lit up at night, the lights reflect on the river, making it a new city landmark.
The bridge spans the Terengganu River mouth, connecting the city center with Kuala Nerus. It is about 638 meters long and is one of the first bascule road bridges in Southeast Asia. The towers contain observation decks and exhibition galleries; opening hours vary, so check on site. From the bridge you can see the river mouth, the harbor, and Bukit Puteri. The bridge looks its best at night when the lights are on. The riverside walkway and the Duyong Island side both offer good photo spots.
