Jembatan akar

Jembatan akar (English: living root bridge) is the bridge that forms the fabric of the two roots of the trees that grow across and extends over a stream in the subdistrict Bayang Utara, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia.

[1] It is located about 88 km south of the city of Padang.

In the language of Minang, the bridge is the community outreach called titian aka.

[2] In other words, the process of knitting a root bridge takes approximately 26 years.

Currently, conditions are becoming increasingly stronger with the size of the roots of the banyan tree that formed it.
