Kota Intan Bridge

Kota Intan Bridge at present

Kota Intan Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Kota Intan) is a hanging bridge located at Kali Besar of Kota Tua in Jakarta. It is the oldest bridge in Indonesia that was built in 1628 by the Dutch East India Company. Now the bridge is under the management of the Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Culture Department.[1] The bridge is also known as jembatan gantung or hanging bridge.[2] In the past, it operated as a Bascule bridge. The double “leaf” of the bridge would swing upward to provide clearance for marine traffic during the colonial era.
