Before and After JAK Gandaria: Once Dangerous, Now Open and Close

The Antar Kampung (JAK) Lift Bridge is a modern vertical-lift bridge in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, designed to ease river traffic congestion. It was constructed to replace a traditional low bridge that frequently halted road traffic to allow boats to pass. Its history is rooted in the city’s ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure while accommodating its extensive and vital network of waterways.
