Putrajaya, Malaysia, is the location of the Seri Wawasan Bridge. Constructed in 2003, the 787.4-foot cable-stayed span is also referred to as “Bridge No. 9.” The bridge has a futuristic aspect and resembles a sailing ship due to its forward-inclining pylon.

Color-changing lighting on the bridge at night highlights the Seri Wawasan’s intriguing, carnival-esque aspect. Putrajaya Lake is an artificial lake created by humans with the purpose of providing cooling. The bridge spans over it. The administration buildings and residential areas of the planned city are situated on Core Island, which is connected to the city by seven bridges.
The bridge features two three-lane carriageways as well as a walking track in the middle. There are other bridges that connect Putrajaya residents to the Core Island, not just the Seri Wawasan. The Seri Saujana, Perdana, Setia, Gemilang, Bakti, and Bestai Bridges are some more comparable access bridges.
