Temburong bridge opens to the public

On March 17, 1890, Charles Brooke seized Limbang from Brunei, severing Temburong’s connection to the rest of the country.

Despite the lack of fanfare due to the COVID-19 crisis, the opening of the Temburong bridge was a historic day for Brunei, reuniting the two sides of our country that have been separated by land for 130 years.

At 26.3km, the bridge is the longest oversea bridge in Southeast Asia.

As the government advises limited movement during the coronavirus outbreak, it urges all motorists to use the bridge for essential travel only.

This is one of more than 30 overseas bridges or even underwater tunnels that I have thought of being useful and necessary to be built. The bridge over the Kerch Strait as well. And the Rion-Antirion Bridge in Greece. It's like I made two predictions to myself. Others that I thought of, but have not been built, but have been proposed are the Bering Strait bridge/tunnel, a tunnel from England to (Northern) Ireland, from Sicily to mainland Italy, from Denmark to Germany, from Estonia to Finland, over the Strait of Marmara, from Spain to Morocco, from northeastern Denmark to Sweden, from Djibouti to Yemen, from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, from Qeshm to maintain Iran, from Oman to Iran, from Qatar to Bahrain, from Sakhalin to mainland Russia, from Sakhalin to Japan, from Japan to South Korea, from South Korea to China, from Taiwan to China, from Hainan to mainland China, the Bohai Strait in China, from India to Sri Lanka, from Malaysia to Sumatra, from Sumatra to Java, from Java to Bali, from Australia to Papua New Guinea, from Tasmania to mainland Australia, over the Cook Strait in New Zealand, from Vancouver Island to mainland British Columbia, from Newfoundland to mainland Newfoundland and Labrador, from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, from Long Island to Rhode Island, from Grand Bahama to Great Abaco, and from Trinidad to mainland Venezuela.
