Kutai Kartanegara Bridge
Jembatan Kutai Kartanegara
A major arch bridge spanning the Mahakam River, rebuilt after the original collapsed in 2011. At night it is illuminated and has become a landmark of Tenggarong.
The Tenggarong bridge spans the Mahakam River, connecting its two banks. The original suspension bridge, completed in 2001, was called the “Golden Gate Bridge of Indonesia.” It suddenly collapsed in 2011, killing several people. The rebuilt steel arch bridge opened to traffic after 2015. The new bridge is illuminated at night, and its reflection on the river complements Kumala Island. The riverbank at the bridge’s end is where locals go in the evening to enjoy the view. On the way from Samarinda to Tenggarong, travelers usually pass this bridge, and it is a convenient place to stop and take photos.
