President B. J. Habibie Bridge, Road bridge in Bidau Santana, East Timor
The President B. J. Habibie Bridge spans 78 meters across the Claran River, connecting Avenida Marginal in the west with Avenida Sant'Ana in the east.
The bridge received its name from B. J. Habibie, the Indonesian president who granted East Timor permission for an independence referendum in 1999.
The decision to name the bridge came from Xanana Gusmão, reflecting the complex relationship between East Timor and Indonesia through infrastructure development.
With a width of 11.5 meters and separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians, the bridge serves as a primary connection point for local transportation.
The bridge construction required an investment of 3.9 million US dollars and includes a 540-meter roadway section alongside the main bridge structure.
