Construction

edit

Construction of the Seruyan Bridge began in 2009 by the first Regent, Darwan Ali, and was completed in the same year. Previously, the Seruyan Bridge was planned to be inaugurated on August 5, 2010.[3] However, because at that time several parts of the Seruyan Bridge were still under construction, such as the sidewalks, safety fences and bridge lighting had not been completed, the inauguration and operation of the bridge had to be postponed until October 2010.[3]

Naming

edit

Officially, the bridge does not yet have a name, and it is proposed that the bridge be named the Soekarno Bridge,[3][4] which is taken from the name of Ir. Soekarno, a figure in the struggle for Indonesian independence and also the first president of Indonesia. In 2019, the nameplate Ir. Soekarno installed it at the entrance to the bridge, making the bridge officially named the Ir Bridge. Soekarno.[5]
