Putra Bridge
Deemed to be the most important of the bridges in Putrajaya, the
435-m concrete bridge connects the Government Precinct to the Mixed
Development Precinct, with the upper level of the bridge forming
part of the Boulevard, the main street in the capital.
The three-tier bridge is inspired by the Islamic architecture of
the famous Khaju Bridge in Isfahan, Iran. Its magnificent attractions
are the four minaret-type piers, complete with observation decks,
overlooking the Putrajaya Lake. This unique bridge provides access
to pedestrians, vehicles and a monorail, while its pier will be
developed into a fine dining area with a place for boats to berth.
 Key
Tips |
At the lakeside, you are able to rent a kayak or rowboat for a
gentle cruise on the lake. The late afternoon or early evening,
when the weather has cooled down, is the best time for this activity.
