The new pedestrian bridge to Masjid Jamek Kuala Lumpur



From Bagan Lalang we headed home after 3 pm or so. On the way we entered Kuala Lumpur city centre to check out a recent development.


The said development is situated besides the historic Sultan Abdul Samad building...








It is part of a project to beautify the nearby portion of Sungai (river of) Gombak and Sungai Klang.


For the first time as far as I could remember a pedestrian bridge has been built leading to the Masjid Jamek or main mosque of KL. I was told it was opened in conjuction of  the Malaysia independence day last 31st August...






It crosses over the Gombak river...











Seen on the right are minarets of the mosque. For the record the mosque is situated at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers.



However direct path leading to the mosque is not opened yet as a garden project at the connecting compound has not been completed.  You have to take a path to the left to reach the mosque. I could also see that there are still a number of things to be done before the River of Life project is concluded...
