Ampera Bridge, Vertical-lift bridge in Palembang, Indonesia.
The Ampera Bridge spans 224 meters across the Musi River with two tall towers reaching 63 meters into the sky.
Japan constructed this bridge in 1965 as part of post-World War II reparations to Indonesia, replacing previous ferry transportation methods.
The bridge connects communities on both sides of the Musi River, integrating different neighborhoods of Palembang into one united city.
The structure carries vehicles and pedestrians across its 22-meter-wide deck, serving as the primary crossing point over the Musi River.
Although designed as a vertical-lift bridge with a 61-meter central span, the lifting mechanism no longer functions due to technical issues.
Official opening: September 30, 1965
