Mahakam Bridge
Jembatan Mahakam
The first major bridge in Samarinda to span the Mahakam River. Visitors can watch barges pass below and the sunset from the bridge, while city lights reflect on the water at night.
Mahakam Bridge was built in the 1980s and was the first bridge in Samarinda to cross the Mahakam River, linking the city center with Samarinda Seberang on the opposite bank. It remains a major traffic artery today. Long coal-laden barges often drift slowly beneath the bridge. Watching the sunset and the silhouette of the mosque from the bridgehead or nearby riverbank is a favorite scene for locals. Later, the Mahkota II Bridge and Mahakam IV Bridge were built, and at night all of these bridges are illuminated. A river cruise lets you see them all in one trip.
