History

Original footbridge

Before the current Pulau Sekati Bridge, a wooden footbridge (retok kayu Pulau Sekati) connected Pulau Sekati to the mainland. Built in 1992 using tengkawang and cengal wood, it spanned 213 meters. [5] [6] The footbridge supported pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles, serving as a vital connection for students and locals. It was also crossed by Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin.

In February 2022, flooding swept away 152 meters of the wooden bridge, causing extensive damage and power outages. [7] [8]

New bridge

Construction of the Pulau Sekati Bridge began in 2012 but faced delays due to land acquisition disputes. It cost RM 245 million to complete. [9] The section from Losong to Pulau Sekati opened on 31 May 2017, [10] while the section connecting Jalan Banggul Tuan Muda to Jeram Tokong opened on 19 June 2017. [11]
