Temburong Bridge (Malay: جمبتن تمبوروڠ Jambatan Temburong) is a planned 30 km (19 mi) bridge in Brunei. It will connect the Mengkubau and Sungai Besar areas of the Brunei-Muara District with the Labu Estate area of Temburong District. This connection will allow commuters to travel between the main section of Brunei with the Temburong exclave without passing Limbang in Malaysia, hence bypassing the four immigration checkpoints along the current route, which is frequently congested. This will also connect residents in Bangar with Bandar Seri Begawan and shorten the travel time between the two towns. Construction started in 2014 and expected to be completed by the end of 2019, and subsequently opened sometime in 2019.[1][2][3]
Route background
The bridge begins at a grade-separated interchange with Jalan Penghubung Mentiri between the Sungai Akar roundabout and the Salambigar intersection. The road then goes through two tunnels through the Mentiri Ridges, passing the Mengkubau Reservoir, and then interchanging with Jalan Kota Batu at the other end of the ridges. This section is about 3.6 km (2.2 mi) long.[4] The bridge then begins, with a 14.5 km (9.0 mi) viaduct across the Brunei Bay, passing across the tip of Pulau Berambang, then in between Pulau Pepatan and Pulau Baru-Baru, up to Tanjung Kulat in Temburong.[5] Finally, an 11.8 km (7.3 mi) road joins Tanjung Kulat with Jalan Labu, passing through Lubok Maya and the Labu Forest Reserve, and over the Pasu Gadong River and the Labu River, before intersecting with Jalan Labu with a roundabout.[4]
