Saloma Link

Saloma Link is a steel pedestrian bridge across the Klang River in Kuala Lumpur connecting two distinct neighborhoods. The structure stretches 69 meters and rises about 7 meters above the water, designed with a 3-meter width for foot traffic.

Construction of the steel structure was completed in 2020, creating a new link across the river where none had existed before. The project arose from long-standing plans to better connect two historically separate parts of the city.

The design draws inspiration from sireh junjung, a traditional betel leaf arrangement used in Malaysian wedding customs. This cultural reference transforms the bridge into a symbol that connects everyday travelers with local traditions and ceremonies.

The bridge is open to foot traffic from early morning through late evening and can be reached from two nearby transit stations. When arriving by public transportation, look for the access points near both stations to enter the bridge from either side.

The structure features a dynamic LED lighting system that illuminates it in shifting colors throughout the evening and night hours. This interplay of light transforms the bridge into a visual landmark that becomes more noticeable after dark than during the day.
