The project, with an initial estimated minimum cost of at least US$10 billion but probably considerably more, is for a series of bridges carrying a six lane highway and double track railway traversing the three islands of Prajurit, Sangiang, and Ular in the strait. If the project goes ahead as planned, it would join the list of the world's most expensive transport infrastructure. Outline of the project Ĭonstruction of the bridge would be an ambitious project, being much more expensive than any other single infrastructure investment yet carried out in Indonesia. However, seven years later in November 2014, the incoming Joko Widodo government announced that plans to build the bridge would be shelved. In October 2007, after years of discussion and planning, the Indonesian government gave the initial go-ahead for a project which includes several of the world's longest suspension bridges, across the 27 km (17 mi) Sunda Strait.
The suggestion for a bridge was reportedly first put forward in 1960 by Professor Sedyatmo from Institut Teknologi Bandung as a part of broader plans, known as Tri Nusa Bimasakti, to link the three islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali. The Sunda Strait Bridge ( Indonesian: Jembatan Selat Sunda, JSS, Jembatan Selsun, sometimes referred to in English-language reports as the SSB, Sundanese: ᮏᮨᮙ᮪ᮘᮒᮔ᮪ ᮞᮨᮜᮒ᮪ ᮞᮥᮔ᮪ᮓ) was a planned road and railway megaproject between the two large Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java.
