Saloma Link Bridge

Overview

The Saloma Link is a 69-metre pedestrian bridge spanning the Klang River between Kampung Baru and the KLCC area. Its twisting steel canopy, inspired by the sirih junjung (a Malay ceremonial betel-leaf arrangement), is illuminated nightly in changing LED colours.

Highlights

• LED light show: The bridge's lattice canopy cycles through blue, purple, and gold lighting sequences.
• Petronas Towers view: The bridge offers an excellent framing of the Twin Towers, especially from the Kampung Baru end.
• Pedestrian convenience: A vital shortcut turning a 20-minute walk into a 5-minute crossing.

History

Named after P. Saloma, a beloved 1960s Malay film star, the bridge was completed in 2020. It was designed by Perbadanan Pembangunan Kampong Bharu to improve connectivity and stimulate development.

Visitor Tips

• After dark: The LED lighting is only active from dusk to midnight.
