Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge

The Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge is a road structure spanning the Perak River to connect Kuala Kangsar with Sayong village. The design uses five concrete spans to carry traffic across the water for about 330 meters.

The structure was built in 2002 by the Malaysian Public Works Department and later inaugurated officially by the Sultan of Perak. Its completion marked an important step in improving how the region was connected.

The bridge links two communities and allows daily movement between people living in Kuala Kangsar and Sayong village. It shapes the rhythm of the region and serves as a key point in how locals travel between both sides.

Visitors can walk or drive across the structure while enjoying views of the river below. It is best to visit during less busy times of day to have a more comfortable experience.

The structure was built without expansion joints or bearings, a design approach that works well in the tropical setting where temperatures stay relatively constant. This construction method reduces the need for regular repairs and helps the bridge last longer.
