Kelok 9, Mountain road in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, Indonesia

The 2.7-kilometer road features nine sharp turns and spans across multiple bridges reaching heights of 80 meters above ground level.

The Dutch East Indies government constructed the original road between 1908 and 1914, while the modern overpass opened in October 2013.

The road connects communities in West Sumatra to the East Coast of Sumatra, serving as a vital link for local commerce and social interactions.

The road handles between 9,000 and 11,000 vehicles daily, transporting 15.8 million people and 28.5 million tons of goods each year.

Six bridges with a total length of 959 meters form part of the 2,537-meter structure, creating an engineering solution through mountainous terrain.
