Peace be upon you all. Last weekend me and family went to Desaru for holiday. As usual places on the way and after were visited. So let some be shared...
We left home Friday 5th December and spent the night at a relative's place in Alor Gajah. The following day we continued the journey south on to the city of Johor Bahru before heading eastwards to Desaru. This routes lead to a bridge which I have long wanted to pass through. If not mistaken it was opened to traffic 3-4 years ago but until that day I haven't got the occasion to use it...
The Sungai (river of) Johor is a relatively short but very wide river. For 7 km from its mouth the width is about 4 km, for another 13 km upriver it is an average 1.5 to 2 km wide.
A check with Google Earth shows that the bridge passes above almost 1.8 km of water. But it has passed an island earlier. Include that in the picture and the river here in total should be 4 km wide.
A look towards the river mouth.
Sorry can't take clearer pictures as vehicles are not allowed to stop. Maybe I would take better pictures next time by riding a bike...
