Sungai Rambai Bridge Closed After Structural Damage, Motorists To Use AMJ Highway

JOHOR BAHRU, Dec 29 (Bernama) -- The Sungai Rambai Bridge FT001, linking Kesang in Tangkak with Sungai Rambai in Melaka, was closed today after damage to its pillar structure made it unsafe for use.

Johor Public Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Communications Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said inspections by the Public Works Department (JKR) indicated that the damage was likely caused by strong river currents and the impact of drifting tree debris.

“There is also a possibility that erosion of the riverbed soil has occurred,” he said in a Facebook post today.

He advised all road users, including all types of vehicles, to use the Alor Gajah–Melaka Tengah–Jasin (AMJ) Highway as an alternative route.

Mohamad Fazli said further updates would be provided from time to time.
