The Malacca Strait Bridge (Malay/Indonesian: Jambatan/Jembatan Selat Melaka) is a new bridge under proposal that would connect Telok Gong, near Masjid Tanah, Malacca state in Peninsula Malaysia, Malaysia to Rupat Island and Dumai in Sumatra island, Indonesia. The project has been submitted for government approval, and is expected to take 10 years to complete. Once completed, the 48-km long bridge will be the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. The project will have two stay-cable bridges and one suspension bridge, both the longest in the world.
