Sungai Pulai Bridge Upon completion in October 2021, the Sungai Pulai Bridge will significantly reduce travel time to 15 minutes from the current land route, which normally takes about an hour. This will improve connectivity of the two districts between Gelang Patah and Pontian which will result in a strong economic multiplier effect to surrounding areas.
The 7.5-kilometre two-lane two-way bridge with a navigational clearance of 25 metres high and 100 metres width will provide direct access from Tanjung Pelepas, Gelang Patah to Tanjung Bin, Pontian.
Seaport Worldwide Sdn Bhd is the project proponent for the construction of Sungai Pulai bridge and master developer for Tanjung Bin Industrial Park. MMC Engineering Sdn Bhd together with joint venture partner CHEC Construction (M) Sdn Bhd is the main contractor for this Sungai Pulai bridge.
PONTIAN: The long-awaited bridge across Sungai Pulai here may be open as early as next month, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng.
With the opening of the 7.5km bridge, the current hour-long journey from Tanjung Pelepas Port (PTP), Gelang Patah to Tanjung Bin here should be cut to as little as 15 minutes.
What is the economic significant, booster of the new bridge? More business to PTP port? Where is tanjung bin in the map?
Tourism more chill staying at pontian / kukup (plenty of land and the federal road seems underusage (maybe usually when i go is during weekend, weekday gua tatau)
can bring development to there too, thats how town planning work, not wait until overpopulated baru do something and create massive jam
