Ratapan Ibu Bridge, Historical bridge in Payakumbuh Barat, Indonesia
The Ratapan Ibu Bridge spans 40 meters across Batang Agam River, connecting Payakumbuh Market with Labuah Basilang and Nagari Aie Tabik regions.
Built in 1840 by Dutch colonizers, the bridge features ancient architecture with semicircular red brick arrangements bonded by limestone and cement without steel reinforcement.
The name 'Ratapan Ibu', meaning Mother's Lament, commemorates the mothers who witnessed Dutch forces executing independence fighters at this location during colonial times.
Located on Jalan A. Yani in Ibuh district of North Payakumbuh, the bridge remains open for vehicle and pedestrian traffic while maintaining its historical structure.
The bridge earned cultural heritage status from the Cultural Heritage Preservation Center of West Sumatra under inventory number 18/BCB-TB/A/03/2007.
