Jembatan Ampera Palembang

If Jakarta is synonymous with the National Monument, then Palembang is identical with the Ampera Bridge as an icon of the city which is famous for its empek-empek culinary. The people of Palembang City agree that the bridge that connects the area across the downstream and across the upstream is a symbol of the city that is the pride of the people of Palembang. It is not surprising that various entertainment stages held in Palembang City are often held around the Ampera Bridge. Ampera Bridge has a length of more than 1000 meters with a width of 22 meters (4 vehicle lanes), with a height of 63 meters. In its time, Ampera Bridge was recorded as the longest bridge in Southeast Asia. The idea of ​​​​building the Ampera Bridge has actually been around since the Dutch colonial era in 1906, with the main goal of connecting two areas in Palembang which are separated by the Musi River, namely across the ilir and across the upstream. But the idea was only realized in 1957. #themepark#nationalpark
