Bali Strait Bridge

Last updated

The Bali Strait Bridge (Indonesian : Jembatan Selat Bali, JSB, is a proposed road and railway megaproject between the two Indonesian islands of Java and Bali across the Bali Strait.

The suggestion for a bridge was reportedly first put forward in 1960 by Professor Sedyatmo from Institut Teknologi Bandung as a part of broader plans, known as Tri Nusa Bimasakti, to link the three islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali. [1] The Indonesian Government is planning the design of the bridge but there is no official date for construction yet. [2] [3] [4] [5]
