History of Saloma Link Bridge
Constructed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) at a cost of approximately RM31 million and officially opened on 5 February 2020. The project was initiated to provide a safe pedestrian connection across the Klang River and AKLEH highway, linking the historic Malay settlement of Kampung Baru with the KLCC development.
Culture & Context
Named after Biduanita Negara Salmah Ismail (Saloma), renowned Malaysian singer and actress. The bridge design is inspired by the sirih junjung, a traditional Malay arrangement of betel leaves used in ceremonies, symbolizing unity and connection between the traditional village of Kampung Baru and modern Kuala Lumpur.
