Seri Saujana Bridge, Cable-stayed arch bridge in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
Seri Saujana Bridge, also called Bridge No 8, carries the Lebuh Sentosa highway across Putrajaya Lake, linking Core Island (Precinct 4) with Precinct 7. Its single 300 m span is 32 m wide and holds dual three-lane carriageways. Two single-column pylons lean at 78 degrees, held by ten pairs of back stays, while inclined hangers from the arches support the deck's outer edges.
The bridge opened in 2003 as a key infrastructure project for Putrajaya, which had been established as Malaysia's new federal administrative center just two years earlier. The project helped establish important transport connections for the newly planned city.
The bridge is also called Bridge No 8, one of ten bridges built to reach Core Island. Its through-arch section is often compared to a slender version of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the deck is held both at its middle spine and along its outer edges.
The bridge provides direct access to major routes toward Kuala Lumpur and the international airport. Visitors can enjoy views of the lake while walking or driving across.
The structure is supported by ten pairs of back stay cables and twenty-two main stay cables, creating a specialized system over the artificial cooling lake. This cable arrangement is crucial for stability across the water.
