Unlike Surabaya-Madura, The Bridge Connecting Java-Bali is Impossible to Build because It is Hindered by Myths

RADAR TEGAL - Many people wonder why there is no bridge connecting Java and Bali between Java and Bali. Even though the distance between the two islands is the shortest, only about 5 kilometers.

That is why not a few people compare the bridge connecting Java-Bali with the construction of the Suramadu Bridge. The bridge is a link between Surabaya and Madura, a distance of approximately 4.35 kilometers.

In fact, if there is a bridge connecting Java-Bali, it will facilitate connectivity between the two islands. So that economic routes and the movement of local and foreign tourists can be more dynamic via land routes, apart from air.

Bridge connecting Java-Bali

The Island of the Gods is the main tourist destination in the country, which has its own charm and beauty. So if there is a bridge it will make it easier for local and foreign tourists.

Currently, tourists departing from Java must choose two modes of transportation. Namely using airline services, or traveling by land and sea using various types of transportation.

From a number of sources it turns out that there are many reasons why the Java-Bali bridge will never be built. Even though the idea for its development had emerged since the 1960s by Prof. Sedyatmo from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), but was rejected.

Some of these reasons are mainly related to the Dahyang Sidhimantra mythology, which deliberately separated the island of Bali from Java. The myth is that the construction of a bridge connecting Java-Bali is prohibited to filter out negative things from outside the island of Bali, so that it becomes easier to monitor.
