Pandaruan Bridge, International road bridge over the Pandaruan River between Temburong, Brunei and Limbang, Malaysia
Pandaruan Bridge, also called the Brunei–Malaysia Friendship Bridge, spans the Pandaruan River between Temburong in Brunei and Limbang in Malaysia. The road bridge carries vehicles across the river at the border, on the alignment where a ferry once made the crossing.
The bridge opened in 2013, replacing the ferry service that was previously the only way to cross between the two areas. This construction resulted from a joint agreement between Malaysia and Brunei to improve land connectivity.
The governments of Malaysia and Brunei share maintenance responsibilities through their respective Public Works Departments, demonstrating international cooperation.
When crossing, visitors should have their travel documents ready since border control stations operate at both ends. It is helpful to check entry requirements beforehand, as these can change depending on your nationality.
The bridge is named the Brunei–Malaysia Friendship Bridge, and it was opened on 8 December 2013 by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. It crosses the Pandaruan River at the border between Temburong and Limbang.
