Barelang Bridge is a series of six bridges located in Batam, Indonesia, connecting several islands in the Riau Archipelago.

The name "Barelang" is an abbreviation of the three main islands it connects: Batam, Rempang, and Galang.

The construction of the bridges began in 1992, and the entire project was completed in 1998. The bridges were built to improve transportation and promote economic development in the region.

The most iconic bridge in the series is the cable-stayed Tengku Fisabilillah Bridge, which is also known as the Barelang Bridge. It has a total length of 642 meters and is supported by two towers that stand at 112 meters tall. The bridge is an impressive engineering feat, as it can withstand strong winds and earthquakes.

 

Today, the Barelang Bridge has become a popular tourist attraction in Batam, and many visitors come to enjoy the scenic views and take memorable photographs. It has also become a symbol of the economic growth and development of the Riau Archipelago region.
