Barelang Bridges is a very familiar name which attached to Batam Island. Barelang names were taken from 3 major islands which are connected by total of 6 bridge chains, named Batam – Rempang – Galang. Not only for Batam residents, Barelang Bridges also widely known as a tourism landmark among local and foreign tourists. It is located about 20 kilometers from downtown Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia.

History of Barelang Bridges

Barelang bridges connect three major islands and many smaller islands in Batam archipelago to turn the wheels of the economy.

This brilliant idea comes from BJ Habibie who was the chairman of the Batam Authority and minister of research and technology of Indonesia at that time, and he was also 3rd president of Indonesia. BJ Habibie then known as the “Father of Batam Development”.

He prepared Batam infrastructure as he was predicted and aims Batam to grow into a crowded city by industrial activities like its neighborhood country, Singapore.

To be précised, his vision was to transform Rempang and Galang islands into industrial sites aside of main island of Batam for evenly distributing development. Along with the bridges, Batam Authority also builds the road to the end of Galang Baru Island which is known as Trans Barelang road.
