Sarawak's longest river bridge is now open to the public!
The Batang Lupar Bridge (Jambatan Batang Lupar) officially opened on 21 May 2026, replacing the long-serving ferry service connecting Sebuyau and Sri Aman across the Batang Lupar river.
Location: Sebuyau, Sarawak (Kuching Division)
Length: 4.8km â Sarawak's longest river crossing
Travel time saved: Ferry took ~30 minutes, bridge takes just 5 minutes.This bridge is part of Sarawak's massive infrastructure transformation under the 12th Malaysia Plan. Out of 21 major bridges planned, 10 have already opened, with 8 more expected in the coming months.
The opening comes just in time for Hari Raya Haji and Gawai Dayak festivities â making balik kampung much easier for thousands of Sarawakians.
