The Suramadu Bridge , also known as the Surabaya–Madura Bridge, is a bridge with three cable-stayedsections constructed between Surabaya on the island of Java and the town of Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. Opened on June 10, 2009, the 5.4-km bridge is the longest in Indonesia and the first bridge to cross the Madur Strait.
The cable-stayed portion has three spans with lengths 192 m, 434 m and 192 m. The bridge has two lanes in each direction plus an emergency lane and a dedicated lane for motorcycles. The first toll bridge in Indonesia, fares have been initially set at Rp. 30,000 for four-wheeled vehicles and Rp. 3,000 for two-wheelers.
The bridge was built by a consortium of Indonesian companies PT Adhi Karya and PT Waskita Karya working with China Road and Bridge Corp. and China Harbor Engineering Co. Ltd. The total cost of the project, including connecting roads, has been estimated at 4.5 trillion rupiah (US$445 million).
Construction was started on August 20, 2003. In July 2004, a girder collapsed, killing one worker and injuring nine others. Work on the bridge halted at the end of 2004 due to lack of funds, but was restarted in November 2005. The main span of the bridge was connected on March 31, 2009, and the bridge was opened to the public on June 10, 2009. Within a week of the opening, it was discovered that nuts and bolts as well as maintenance lamps had been stolen and that there was evidence of vandalism of cables supporting the main span.
The successful completion of the Suramadu bridge has encouraged interest in the possibility of constructing a much larger Sunda Strait Bridge across the Sunda Strait at the western end of Java.

(JP) The Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency ( BMKG ) warned Jakarta residents to prepare themselves, as torrential rains are expected to continuo in Jakarta over the next three days.
‘Based on our forecast, heavy rainfall will still occur in Greater Jakarta over the next three days,”BMKG extreme weather division chief Kukuh Ribudiyanto said on Saturday.
Strong winds, however, were unlikely to occur again-at least not as strong as Thursday’s winds that uprooted trees and downed billboards in the capital-as the condition in the athmosphere - as rather different than during the last torrential downpour, he said.
BMKG has forecast that the wet season in the capital will peak between mid-January and mid February and that the season will end around March and April.
In addition to the heavy rain, residents, especially those living in the capital’s northern , parts must also be prepared for flooding due to high tides that are predicted to arrive soon.
Jakarta faced its worst ever flooding in 2007, inundating about 70 persent of the city and killing at least 57 people and forcing more than 450.000 people to flee from their deluged houses.
