Guillemard Bridge, Railway bridge in Kusial, Kelantan, Malaysia

The Guillemard Bridge extends 660.2 meters across the Kelantan River with a single-track steel truss structure manufactured in England.

The Metro Carriage Wagon and Finance Company from Wednesbury constructed the bridge between 1920 and 1924, making it Malaysia's second oldest railway bridge.

Sultan Muhammad IV of Kelantan presided over the bridge's inauguration in 1925, establishing it as a symbol of British-Malayan infrastructure development.

The bridge continues to serve as an active railway crossing point, connecting different parts of Malaysia through the national rail network system.

British forces deliberately damaged the bridge in December 1941 to impede Japanese military advancement, leading to its reconstruction and reopening in 1948.

Official opening: 1925
