Sultan Mahmud Bridge

Sultan Mahmud Bridge is a concrete box girder structure that crosses the Terengganu River, linking two major sections of the city together. It stretches more than 1 kilometer and runs along Federal Route 65, connecting residential areas with the city center.

Construction of this concrete structure was completed in 1990, when Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah presided over its official opening. This marked a turning point in how the city could be connected across the river.

The bridge has become part of everyday life for residents, who cross it regularly to move between different neighborhoods and access the city center. It shapes how people experience the river and serves as a familiar landmark in the local landscape.

The bridge is toll-free and can be crossed anytime by foot or car without delays. It has clear lane markings and offers sidewalks for pedestrians to walk safely.

An international running event takes place on the bridge each September, bringing together runners from around the world. This annual gathering transforms it into a place where sport and community connection happen at the same time.
