Transport in Brunei

The backbone of the network is a coastal roadway that connects the towns of Kuala Belait, Sungai Liang, Tutong, and Jerudong with Muara Port from the south-west of the nation to the north-east.

The more remote areas of Labi in Belait, Lamunin in Tutong, and Bangar in Temburong are all served by important routes that branch off the main corridor.

The structure, which was constructed as a joint venture between the local company Swee and South Korea's Daelim Industrial, is the second-longest single-pylon cable-stayed bridge in the world.

[5] The Temburong District and Bandar Seri Begawan are connected by the 26.3 km Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge, which was inaugurated on 17 March 2020.

Travelers from Temburong previously had to take a 45-minute boat ride across the bay or drive two hours through Limbang, Sarawak, and four border checks in order to reach the capital before the bridge's opening.

To permit their use in the mine galleries, two unique locomotives were built with a low profile and the unusually short gauge of 711 millimetres (28.0 in).

With a 4 km pier serving an ocean going tanker loading point, Brunei LNG constructed a liquefied natural gas plant at Lumut in the early 1970s.

[8] As of 21 June 2021, A proposed LRT or MRT transportation system called the Brunei Metro has been taken into consideration for Bandar Seri Begawan.

Despite this, it is one of the nations with the highest per capita incomes in the world, and the government has long explored implementing some type of urban rail transit.

[11] The first runway was built at the existing Government Offices Complex, Old Airport during the Japanese occupation during the Second World War.

Despite being heavily shelled by the Allied Forces during the war, the runway was rebuilt and repaired, and an appropriate airport was designed and constructed.

However, the network's current use is primarily restricted to the area around Kampong Ayer (water village), which is located across the Brunei River from Bandar Seri Begawan.

Moreover, water transportation is used in Brunei's more isolated settlements located in the country's interior, where poor or nonexistent road links exist.

Due to the lack of direct road connections mentioned above, travel from Brunei-Muara to Temburong was previously only possible via river.

The water network in this context emphasizes its significance to Brunei's ability to operate, trade, and maintain its territorial integrity.

Cooking gas and chemicals are supplied to the manufacturing facilities and residents of the town by the Kuala Belait fueling station.

Farther upstream, close to Kampong Sungai Duhon, is where Kuala Belait's commercial port is located.
