The Suramadu Bridge, officially the Surabaya – Madura National Bridge, is three-section cable-stayed bridge connecting Surabaya, on the island of Java, and the town of Bangkalan, on the island of Madura. It is the longest bridge in Indonesia at 5,438 metres and is the first to cross the Madura Strait. Construction began in 2003 but was halted for nearly a year due to lack of funds. The bridge was opened to the public on 10 June 2009.
