Malaysia–Singapore Second Link, Road bridge in Tuas, Singapore and Gelang Patah, Malaysia
The Malaysia-Singapore Second Link is a road bridge in Tuas, Singapore, and Gelang Patah, Malaysia, stretching 1920 meters across the Straits of Johor. Six lanes of concrete roadway rest on 26 piers, carrying traffic between both shores.
Construction started in 1994 following years of talks between both governments. The crossing opened to traffic on January 2, 1998.
The structure takes its name to distinguish it from the older causeway that has linked both nations since 1923 and runs further east. Thousands of commuters cross this passage each day, often traveling to work or visiting relatives.
Each end features its own immigration checkpoint: the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex in Malaysia and the Tuas Checkpoint in Singapore. Wait times vary by time of day and day of the week, so traveling outside rush hours helps.
Three navigational channels beneath the structure allow small watercraft to pass through. The crossing handles up to 200,000 vehicles daily moving between both nations.
