Motorists are urged to use the AMJ highway after the Sungai Rambai Bridge was closed due to structural damage from strong currents and debris.
JOHOR BAHRU: The Sungai Rambai Bridge FT001, linking Kesang in Tangkak with Sungai Rambai in Melaka, has been closed after damage to its pillar structure made it unsafe for use.
Johor Public Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Communications Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh (pic) said inspections indicated the damage was likely caused by strong river currents and the impact of drifting tree debris.
“There is also a possibility that erosion of the riverbed soil has occurred,” he said in a Facebook post.
He advised all road users to use the Alor Gajah–Melaka Tengah–Jasin (AMJ) Highway as an alternative route.
Mohamad Fazli said further updates would be provided from time to time.
