Seri Wawasan Bridge (GPS: 2.92797, 101.68436), or Jambatan Seri Wawasan, links Precinct 2 to Precinct 8. It has a single span which is 240 metres in length, supported by stayed cables which are suspended from leaning concrete pylons. Carrying Lebuh Wawasan across the Putrajaya Lake, the bridge was completed in 2003, and I photographed it about a year later.
The Seri Wawasan Bridge carries a six-lane avenue, three each way, as well as pedestrian walkway on each side. Its dramatic appearance is said to be inspired by the Bugis schooner.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
