History

The construction of the bridge was proposed in 1996 and it was part of the Malacca coastal development project such as Mahkota Parade, Taman Melaka Raya, Taman Kota Laksamana and Malacca Island. When the reclamation land for the project was done in the late 1990s, construction of the bridge began in 1999 and was completed in 2001.^[1][2] In 2024, warning signs were installed.^[3]
