She 👩🏻 is gonna sharing 👩🏻‍💻📝aboutthis instagrammable bridge 🌉named Pintasan Saloma in Malaysia 🇲🇾 ‘s national language aka Saloma Link Bridge 🌉

Guess what❓⁉️

It’s now the longest single span steel structure elevated walkway 🌉 in Malaysia 🇲🇾 The orientation of its floor finishes along the walkway is facing the Qibla (Read more via 🌐 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qibla) to create continuity ↔️ between the Pintasan Saloma & Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery Park

Surely all of you have viewed lots of beautiful 😍🤩captures 📸📹🎥 & news sharing about it whether from the main media 🗞📰 or online social platforms 📱🖥👩🏻‍💻👨🏻‍💻

Yes ✅, this Saloma Link with its main structure i.e. A covered elevated steel pedestrian bridge 🌉 already launched for public visit since 5 Feb 2020 in the city 🌆🏙 which commissioned by Kampong Bharu Development Corporation (PKB) 😀

It stretches 370m & span across the AKLEH Highway 🛣 & Klang River of 69m long. Its curved steel roof canopy houses the with 4.1K diamond facade panels & equipped with LED lights💡💡which brightly-lit up at night 🌃🌌 The state-of-the-art lighting actually changing the light colours from time to time to creating amazing images for public to enjoy their walking 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️ & capturing unique moments with it 📸📹🎥

Yes ✅, another iconic landmark 📍 in of Malaysia 🇲🇾 This beautiful 😍🤩 pedestrian bridge 🌉 connects ↔️ between Kampong Baru & Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) just 7️⃣mins walking 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️distance as compared to 30mins in the past, from Jalan Sungai Baru to Jalan Saloma (reason of its name) & expanding over Klang River

A seamless pedestrian connectivity ↔️ between both the old & new 🆕 worlds of KL 🌆🏙, a mere distance from the Kampung Baru LRT 🚉 The construction of this bridge took 1.5 years to complete with cost 💰 of RM31mil (approximately USD7.5mil), including its consultancy cost

The bridge’s architecture is inspired by the Sirih Junjung in Malaysia 🇲🇾‘s national language aka Betel Leaf concept, a must in traditional Malay wedding ceremonies 🎉🎊 as a symbol of unity among the Malay community. Also its design slightly similar to Bridge of Peace, a bow-shaped pedestrian bridge 🌉 with steel & glass construction over the Kura River at in downtown Tbilisi, capital of Georgia 🇬🇪, read more via 🌐 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Peace
