Putra Bridge

Putra Bridge is a monumental crossing in Malaysia's administrative capital, linking the government precinct with surrounding districts across a man-made lake. Inspired by the historic Khaju Bridge of Isfahan, it carries road and pedestrian traffic on multiple levels and is lit dramatically after dark. Ornamental towers, tiled arches, and viewing balconies punctuate its span, and pleasure boats pass beneath on lake cruises. The structure reflects the architectural vision that gave the planned city its blend of Islamic and modern design.
