Darul Hana Bridge: The Shining Jewel of Kuching Waterfront

May 1, 2025
The Darul Hana Bridge spans over Sarawak River, connecting Kuching Waterfront with Sarawak Legislative Assembly Building (DUN). It is also known as Golden Anniversary Bridge, which is intrinsically linked to the identity of the city. It provides pedestrian access to the city centre attractions such as the Plaza Merdeka shopping mall, the international hotels strip and the cafes at the old Court House.
The design is an S-shaped walkway. Its curved plan allows a comfortable walkway gradient that is suitable for access by disabled persons, while still providing sufficient clearance for river vessels to pass beneath it. The designers were able to balance all forces and keep all elements in harmony. This symbolises the state leaders' efforts to bring balance and harmony in a multiracial and multicultural society.
Its name is derived from Sarawak's full name Sarawak Darul Hana, which means 'Home to Peace and Tranquility'.
