Permas Jaya Bridge, Road bridge in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Permas Jaya Bridge is a road bridge in Johor Bahru that spans across the Tebrau River and Plentong River. The structure links the residential area of Bandar Baru Permas Jaya directly to the city center.
The bridge was proposed when Bandar Raya Developments Berhad launched the new town of Bandar Baru Permas Jaya in 1984, but it was only completed in 1994. A second Permas Jaya Bridge, proposed in 2006 under the Iskandar Development Region plan, was built from February 2008 and opened to road users on 1 March 2012.
Locals call it Jambatan Permas Jaya, Malay for the Permas Jaya Bridge, and the name is written in Jawi as جمبتن ڤرمس جاي on signage. The bridge carries Jalan Pantai, linking Taman Iskandar in the west with Taman Permas Jaya in the east.
The bridge enables quick crossing between the residential area and the city center. It serves as a major route for commuters and through traffic in the region.
Upon its completion in 1994, the Permas Jaya Bridge held the distinction of being the longest arch bridge in Southeast Asia.
