Description
The Ampera Bridge, Palembang's city symbol, spans the Musi River in central Palembang, connecting Seberang Ulu and Seberang Ilir. Built in 1962 with funds from Japanese war reparations—similar to Jakarta's Monas—it was initially named Soekarno Bridge but renamed after the 1960 national slogan Amanat Penderitaan Rakyat (Ampera). Measuring 1,117 meters long and 22 meters wide, it rises 11.5 meters above the water with 63-meter towers spaced 75 meters apart, weighing around 944 tons. A must-see for its grandeur and history.
