MAGNIFICIENT BRIDGES OF PUTRAJAYA INTRODUCTION 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.

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.

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.

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. Fast Facts – Seri Bakti Bridge Bridge System ~ Pre-cast Beam Structure Total Length ~ 270m Total Width ~ 27.12m Number of Lanes (Top Deck) ~ Four, Dual 2-Lane Number of Bridge ~ One Number of Spans ~ Nine (7x35m) + (2x12.5m) Number of Piers ~ Eight Height Clearance Over High Water Level ~ 10m Navigational Clearance ~ 33.5m Construction Time Frame ~ 1997-2000 SERI SETIA 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.

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.
