The bridge was designed to resemble a yacht in full sail.
It is one of three primary bridges crossing the man-made Putrajaya Lake.
The structure is designed to be highly resistant to vibration through the use of tuned mass dampers.
The bridge's main span measures 165 meters in length.
It was designed by Perunding Trafik Klasik Sdn Bhd as part of the Putrajaya Master Plan.
The cable-stayed design was specifically chosen to maintain a clear line of sight across the lake to the Prime Minister's office.
The Seri Wawasan Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Putrajaya, Malaysia, characterized by its asymmetric design resembling a sailing ship. It spans the Putrajaya Lake and functions as the primary artery connecting the core island to the residential precincts. The structure features a distinctive single pylon and 30 pairs of cables supporting the deck. Completed in 2003, it utilizes steel and concrete construction to achieve a futuristic aesthetic. Integrated LED lighting illuminates the cables and structure after sunset, creating a prominent nighttime silhouette. The bridge serves both vehicular traffic and pedestrians via dedicated walkways.
