Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge

The Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge extends 330 meters across the Perak River, connecting the town of Kuala Kangsar with Sayong village through five concrete spans.

The Malaysian Public Works Department completed the construction of this infrastructure project in 2002, with the official inauguration by Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak in June.

The bridge stands as a central element in Kuala Kangsar's infrastructure, supporting the daily movement of communities on both sides of the Perak River.

The structure functions as one of two main crossings over the Perak River in the area, operating alongside the Iskandariah Bridge to serve local transportation needs.

The bridge utilizes an integral arch design without expansion joints or bearings, making it particularly effective for the minimal temperature variations of Malaysia's tropical climate.
