  • Public hope Satok Suspension Bridge Project can be completed on time | Borneo Post Online. From the article: "According to the Public Works Department (JKR) Sarawak Corporate Communication Facebook page, the road closure is to dismantle bridge deck and other accessories, to complete the Satok Anchor Block and Matang Anchor Block, replace the saddles for both towers, complete the cable transferring works to the new Anchor Blocks, reinstall the bridge deck and other accessories, and the project is expected to be delivered by end of November. The purpose of the dismantling is to reduce the loadings to the cables in order to increase the safety factor during the cable transferring works and saddle replacement works on top of the tower. The bridge itself is safe as confirmed by the recent load tests carried out on the bridge towers."

(suspension bridge)

Kampung Seropak vicinity, Sarawak, Malaysia - Sungai Puak
Bridgemeister ID:5341 (added 2020-11-13)
Name:(suspension bridge)
Location:Kampung Seropak vicinity, Sarawak, Malaysia
Crossing:Sungai Puak
Coordinates:1.346251 N 110.177896 E
Maps:Acme, GeoHack, Google, OpenStreetMap
Status:In use (last checked: 2021)
Main Cables:Wire
Suspended Spans:1

Notes:

  • The coordinates provided are believed to be the approximate location of this bridge based on reports by those having trekked into the remains of the 19th-century Tegora Mercury/Antimony Mine site. In general, its location has been a bit of a mystery given its remote location under dense tree cover. It very much appears to be a Harper bridge, but I've never seen it in any list of Harper bridges. Its towers appear almost identical to Harper's Doveridge bridge.
  • See 1898 Doveridge - Doveridge, England, United Kingdom.
  • See (footbridge) - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The two bridges are nearly identical in appearance.
