Siak Bridge

Apart from that, the bridge was built with the aim of facilitating the flow of transportation between Siak Regency and Pekanbaru City so that there is an alternative route by land in addition to the river.

[1] The bridge has become one of the icons and mainstay tourist attractions of Siak Regency since it was inaugurated on August 11, 2007, by the then-president of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

The bridge, which is designed to last for more than 100 years, was built using a cable stayed system, with modern construction.

The construction of the bridge began on December 27, 2002 with the signing of a work contract agreement between the Siak Regent and the HK-PP Consortium contractor, which is a consortium of the two largest BUMNs, namely PT Hutama Karya and PT Pembangunan Perumahan.

[7] The cost required to build the bridge reached Rp.277.65 billion, which was purely taken from the Siak Regency APBD funds.
