Sungai Johor Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge on Senai-Desaru Expressway, Malaysia.
Sungai Johor Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Johor River with a total span of about 1,700 meters (5,577 feet). Two tall pylons stand out against the sky and define the structure as vehicles pass over the river.
Construction began in 2005 under Senai Desaru Expressway Berhad, with Ranhill Engineers & Constructors as main contractor. Planned for December 2008, the opening was repeatedly delayed; the bridge was finally opened on 10 June 2011 together with the second phase of the Senai–Desaru Expressway. The deck was joined on 9 December 2010.
The bridge stands as a symbol of Malaysian engineering excellence, connecting the communities of Pulau Juling in Johor Bahru District with Tanjung Penyabong in Kota Tinggi District.
The bridge accommodates motor vehicles on two lanes per direction across the river. It provides a main route connecting eastern and western areas via the Senai-Desaru Expressway.
The bridge's 739-metre steel-concrete composite section carries a precast concrete deck over a steel stiffening box girder, while the remaining side spans use concrete box girders. Its deck is 23.16 metres wide, and the two pylons reach 143 metres. The design was produced by a joint venture of Ranhill Engineers & Constructors and Denmark's COWI.
