If Kuala Lumpur's Petronas twin towers which have become icons of neighboring countries, have an icon Monas Jakarta Surabaya and Madura it will soon have a new icon, Suramadu Bridge. Yes ... Suramadu Bridge is a prestige project.
Suramadu stands Surabaya and Madura. This bridge will connect the island of Java (Surabaya) and the island of Madura (in Bangkalan). The main goal of course is the construction of this bridge to accelerate development in the island of Madura, which is relatively low compared to other regions in East Java.
If this bridge has been finished to perfection, then Suramadu bridge will be the longest bridge in Indonesia today. This bridge has a length of 5438 m. According to records, this bridge will be one of the 15 longest bridge in the world.
Longest bridge project was first conceived in 1960 by Ir. Sedyatmo (late) that had been planned to build a bridge connecting the island of Java and Sumatra. Gasasan received a positive response by President Suharto (late), where in early June 1986, President Soeharto appointed State Minister for Research and Technology / Head of the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) BJ Habibie. Initial study the possibility of a direct relationship between islands of Sumatra-Java-Bali and the project was done in this study were named Tri Nusa Milky Way in collaboration with the Japanese private sector.
To promote and project mensosilisasikan Tri Nusa Milky Way, the BPPT and Jif organizes Seminar in Jakarta from 21 to 24 September 1986 by taking the theme of the seminar "" Japan-Indonesia Seminar on Large Scale Bridges and Tunnel Under the Sea ". The seminar was then followed by a series of preliminary studies until 1989. Because the study include the relationship of three or more islands, enhanced project name to "Project Tri Nusa crossing the Milky Way and Main". From studies done, which is considered feasible for immediate implementation is a direct relationship of Java-Madura / Bali.
Longest bridge started construction on August 20, 2003, officially launched the construction by the President at that time, namely: Megawati Sukarnoputri. According to the plan in June 2009 this bridge will be inaugurated.
Longest bridge consists of three parts, namely causeway, bridge and bridge approach. Of the total length of the bridge as far as 5438 m consists of Causeway side of Surabaya 1458 m, 1818 m Madura side of the Causeway Spans the entire length of the middle reaches 2162 m consists of two Bridge Approach each 672 m and 818 m. along the Main Bridge The length of the road approach on the side of Surabaya reached 4.35 km and 11.50 km in the Madura.
Longest bridge will be providing special access to motorcycles. It's on the right side and left the bridge. Width of 2.75 meters respectively. The total width of the bridge to reach 30 meters (2 x 15 meters). In each lane (direction Surabaya and Madura direction) there will be a slow lane each measuring 2.2 meters. Then, on each path there will be two fast track, each 3.5 meters wide.
In addition to the national consortium, then it also has an important role in development is the longest bridge construction company from China. That is why the so-called pedestal bridge with steel box girder (SBG) pembuatanya done in China. It turned out that in addition to its manufacture must be carried out in China, the delivery takes a long time. Shipping from China carried four times for 30 days. It also remains to be assembled again in Gresik.
Estimated cost of construction of this bridge is Rp. 4.5 trillion. The cost for the construction of this bridge became an obstacle course for the sustainability of the completion of this bridge. That's why when the economic crisis hit Indonesia, could delay the continuation of development Suramadu Bridge.
Technically, making a bridge made from three sides: the side of Madura, the Surabaya and also simultaneously carried out the construction of the center span of bridge and bridge approach.
