DARUL HANA Bridge

Darul Hana Bridge!

Our penultimate day in Kuching, and after our simple dinner at Tower Market we took a stroll along the Darul Hana Bridge. This S-shaped pedestrian suspension bridge opened to the public in November 2017. The two viewing decks offer excellent 360-panaromic view of the Sarawak River.

It is intended to complement the new State Legislative Assembly Complex (DUN) to form a dynamic urban cape—set against elegant parks and water features—that will be intrinsically linked to the identity of the city.

This RM35 million bridge provides pedestrian access from the Kuching Waterfront in the south of the city to the new DUN, the Botanical and Orchid Gardens and beyond in the north. It will also provide pedestrian access from the surrounding villages to the city centre attractions, such as the Plaza Merdeka shopping mall, the international hotels strip and the cafés at the old Court House.
