The China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) announced on 02 January that it had completed its section of the US$1.7bn Temburong Bridge in Brunei.

The stunning bridge will provide a much-needed land link between Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the sultanate, and the Temburong district.

Brunei is divided into two areas by the Malaysian state of Sarawak and the 30km bridge and causeway will link the two reducing travel time to just 30 minutes.

When opened, it will become the second-longest bridge in Southeast Asia after the 24km Second Penang Bridge in Malaysia.

CSCEC started work on the bridge in October 2015 and required innovative design and fabrication solutions to overcome the harsh and remote environment.
