Parit Sulong Bridge, Steel bridge in Parit Sulong, Malaysia

The bridge spans across Sungai Simpang Kiri river, featuring a curved design that accommodates vehicle and pedestrian traffic in Batu Pahat District.

The original structure, completed in 1929, became the location of a significant World War II battle between British forces and Japanese troops in January 1942.

Sultan Ibrahim of Johor conducted a personal inspection of the bridge structure upon its inauguration in 1930, marking its importance to the region.

The current bridge, constructed in 1997, replaced the original structure from 1994 and maintains essential transportation links for the local population.

The bridge's middle section curved design allowed bauxite ore barges from Seri Medan to pass underneath during the region's mining operations.
