Prai River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge over Prai River in Seberang Perai, Malaysia.
Prai River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Prai River and connecting areas on both sides of the waterway in Seberang Perai. The structure has six traffic lanes and uses pairs of cables anchored to concrete pylons to span the river.
The bridge opened in 2005 as a modern crossing over the river. It gained international recognition for its structural design shortly after completion.
The structure integrates into the local infrastructure as part of the Butterworth Outer Ring Road, connecting communities across the Prai River.
The bridge provides an important traffic passage and is well integrated into the surrounding road network. Access is straightforward for drivers moving through the region.
During construction, workers had to remove defective concrete blocks using explosives because standard removal techniques did not work. This unusual method reveals the challenges the building project faced.
