Kota Bridge, Klang

Kota Bridge, Klang (7 July, 2016)


Kota Bridge (GPS: 3.04594, 101.44678) is a bridge across the Klang River, in Klang, Selangor. I believe it was named after Kota Raja Mahdi, which is located nearby. Today it carries Federal Route 2 across the river. This double-decker truss girder bridge was built in 1957 and completed in 1960. Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah officiated the bridge in 1961, in conjunction with his coronation as the 9th Sultan of Selangor.

The top part of this double decker bridge was removed in 1980, so the present top level, which was previously the vehicular lane, is now a pedestrian walkway. Due to its location, it is difficult to see the lower deck of the bridge from the top.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
