When master planners first envisioned Putrajaya, they had in

mind a modern city complete with several well-placed bridges

over the scenic 400-hectare lake. The bridges were not only

to serve as a connection between the various precincts, nor as

feats of architectural and engineering geniuses. They wanted the

bridges to portray the sense of growth and progress that Putrajaya

embraced.

And so, work began on Putrajaya’s eight bridges with this vision in

mind. By the time they were all completed, the bridges, -- Putra,

Seri Perdana, Seri Saujana, Seri Gemilang, Seri Wawasan, Seri Bakti,

Seri Bestari and Seri Setia – reflected Putrajaya’s fresh and modern

outlook with great artistry and poetry. The eight Putrajaya bridges

fall into three types of categories, i.e. beam bridges, arch bridges

and cable-stayed bridges.

PUTRA BRIDGEInspired by the design of the Khaju Bridge in Iran, Putra Bridge is an impressive sight to behold. It took three years to complete and is now referred to as the ceremonial bridge mainly because it is part of the protocol route linking Putra Square to the Boulevard. The 435-metre long Putra Bridge also makes up the focal point of Putrajaya together with the Putra Mosque and the Putra Square. The bridge connects Precinct 1 (Government Precinct) and Precinct 2 (Mixed Development) on the Core Island.

A special feature of the bridge is its four octagonal towers and its wall of Islamic motifs. A stroll along the promenade in the evenings is the thing to do for some peaceful and quiet reflection. As night falls, a special magic sets in when the bridge is lighted up.

Located at the South-West of Precinct 1, this bridge connects the Government Precinct to Precincts 8, 9, and 10 across the Putrajaya Lake. The design is inspired by Moorish Islamic architecture with square walls intricately laid with colourful tiles. Along the bridge are eight pavilions with arches and domed roofs, and these act as viewing decks for pedestrians to pause to take in the magnificent views of the lake.

Compared to the other bridges, the Seri Perdana is simple in design, yet remains elegant with its interesting tile-work in patterned hues of yellow. This continuous beam bridge is 372 metres long and was one of the first bridges to be completed in Putrajaya.

This simple beam bridge is located in the northeast of the city that connects Precinct 1 to the residential area of Precinct 16, which also houses the official residence of the Deputy Prime Minister.

The 270-metre long Seri Bakti Bridge offers a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area. Driving along this bridge towards the Government Precinct imparts a sense of purpose and ceremony because the road ahead leads to the Prime Minister’s office and department.

This bridge has dual two-lane carriageways that provide access for vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists. The tile work in Islamic motifs and the stylised streetlamps along the length of the bridge give it a unique identity.

SERI BAKTI BRIDGE

The Seri Setia Bridge is a basic beam bridge that has been transformed through clever design detailing to bring about the beauty of this simple structure. Located in the southeast part of the city, the Seri Setia Bridge spans 210 metres across the lake, bridging the commercial district of Precinct 4 to Precinct 19, a high-density residential area with full amenities and facilities.

The designers implemented simple design features to enhance the beauty and functionality of the bridge. For example, the tropical landscaping around the bridge not only serves as an aesthetic element but also protects motorists from the glare of headlights of oncoming traffic.

Another thoughtful design element is the dual three-lane road system constructed on the bridge in anticipation of the heavier traffic in the area. Other enhancements include the tapering of the “legs” supporting the bridge, creating the illusion of an arched hallway beneath the bridge, besides the reference to Islamic identity.

Seri Gemilang Bridge is located at the southern gateway connecting the core island along the Boulevard to the Putra Bridge in the north.

It is a stunning double of Pont Alexandre III that spans the Seine River in Paris, France, with intricate mouldings and detailed decorative works inspired by the traditional Malay plant and floral motifs.

Four main towers with four smaller entrance towers complete this 240-metre long bridge. The Seri Gemilang is a work of art with its romantic and elegant design against an amazing panorama.

The Seri Bestari Bridge lies at the northeast side of Putrajaya, connecting the Core Island to Taman Warisan Pertanian in Precinct 16. It is part of the direct route from the Deputy Prime Minister’s official residence to the Core Island.

This concrete arch system bridge spans 152.6 metres and has dual two-lane carriageways as well as a cycle track cum pedestrian walkway. The footpath bears a tropical theme with its palm trees and plants. Specially-designed lamp posts lighted up after dark with mood lighting complete this stunning piece of architecture.

Located on the western side of the city, the Seri Wawasan Bridge is the main link between Precincts 2 and 8. This magnificent cable-stayed bridge symbolises strength with its modern and futuristic design.

Spanning a length of 240 metres across the Putrajaya Lake, the bridge with its elegant lines draws inspiration from the beauty of a sailboat. At night, the whole look of the bridge is transformed with interesting light play. This much-photographed bridge has become an icon of Putrajaya.

SERI WAWASAN BRIDGE

The Seri Saujana Bridge is the signature bridge of Putrajaya. It is the first bridge in the world to successfully combine two different engineering techniques, arch and cable stay. There is no other bridge structure like it in the world!

Located at the southwest corner of the city, this 300-metre bridge connects Precinct 4 (Commercial Precinct) to Precinct 7.It serves as a grand entrance into Putrajaya for those entering the city from the south on the upgraded B15 road and Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Lumpur International Airport highway.

The night view of Seri Saujana Bridge is even more impressive with mood lighting to enhance the beautiful lines and architecture. Like other bridges, it provides a pedestrian walkway and cycle track for public usage.
