      • The Sungai Johor Bridge (Malay: Jambatan Sungai Johor; Jawi: جمبتن سوڠاي جوهر) is an expressway bridge across Johor River on Senai–Desaru Expressway in Johor, Malaysia. The 1.7 km (1,708 m) single plane cable stayed bridge connects Pulau Juling in Johor Bahru District in the west to Tanjung Penyabong in Kota Tinggi District in the east. Opened on 10 June 2011, it has the longest central span of any river bridge in Malaysia, followed by Batang Sadong Bridge in Sarawak. The bridge is also the longest single plane cable-stayed bridge in Malaysia.


      History


      Construction officially began in 2005. Construction was led by Senai Desaru Expressway Berhad with a main contractor Ranhill Engineers & Constructors Sdn Bhd. The bridge was to have been completed by December 2008, but opening of the bridge was repeatedly delayed, opening together with the 2nd phase of the expressway on 10 June 2011.


      Specifications


      The bridge is 1,708 metres (1.7 km) long, with a 500-metre (0.5 km) main span across the Johor River. The two main pylons of the bridge rise to a height of 143 meters.
      The expressway on the bridge has two lanes on each direction, without any shoulder.
