Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing The bridge links Kampung Ladang at Tanjung Kupang in Johor (Malaysia) to Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim at Tuas on Singapore's western tip. Spanning 2km, about 1.7km of the three-lane dual carriageway is over Malaysian waters, with a maximum navigational clearance of 75m in the center. With its
spacious six lanes, the new bridge will have a capacity
of 200,000 vehicles a day, which is four times the load
on the old causeway linking Johor Baru and Woodlands,
Singapore. The difference between two linkways is that
the new one avoids the busy Johor Bahru city area. |
