Tayan Bridge

Tayan Bridge is a bridge which will cross Kapuas River in Sanggau, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. This bridge will be a part of Trans Kalimantan Highway (south route) that connects West Borneo with Central Borneo.[1] If the bridge is completed, the bridge will be the longest bridge in Borneo.[2] The bridge construction project takes about 900 days. Tayan Bridge is expected to fully operate at the end of 2014. The construction project is mainly funded by loan from China (90%)[3][4]
