Batam-Bintan Bridge

The Batam-Bintan Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Batam-Bintan), also known as the Babin Bridge (from Batam and Bintan) is a proposed series of cable-stayed bridges crossing the Riau Strait between the islands of Batam and Bintan in the Riau Islands of Indonesia, near Singapore.[2] The cost is estimated at 13.66 trillion rupiah (US$938 million in 2021), which is planned to be provided under a joint government-enterprises financing scheme.[3] As of 2021 it was targeted to be finished at 2024,[4] but this plan seems to be unrealistic. As of 2023, soil investigation is in progress but construction work has not commenced.[5]
