Putra Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
This 435-meter concrete structure spans Putrajaya Lake with three decks accommodating vehicular traffic, pedestrians, and a planned monorail system connecting government and commercial precincts.
Constructed in 1997 and officially opened in 1999, the bridge formed part of Malaysia's ambitious urban development project to create a modern administrative capital showcasing national progress.
The bridge design draws inspiration from Islamic architecture, particularly Iran's Khaju Bridge in Esfahan, featuring four pier structures resembling minarets that reflect traditional Islamic architectural motifs.
The upper level integrates with the Boulevard road system providing vehicular access, while pedestrian walkways on both sides allow safe crossing with designated parking facilities available nearby.
The bridge's four piers house observation decks and are planned to accommodate fine dining restaurants with boat berthing facilities, creating a multifunctional recreational destination.
