Project: Pulau Balang Bridge – Overcoming Logistical Challenges

The Pulau Balang Bridge in Borneo, Indonesia, connects Balikpapan Bay’s eastern side to Balang Island and is Indonesia’s longest concrete deck stay cable bridge with an 804m span.

DYWIDAG’s Role:

  • Provided 4 full-time supervisors, 12 PT Delta Engineers, and 100 team members.
  • Overcame challenging terrain—though only 25km from Balikpapan, road transport took a full day, making boat transport essential despite capacity and safety issues.
  • Installed first cables in October 2019, with bridge completion in November 2020.

This project highlights DYWIDAG’s adaptability in overcoming extreme logistical challenges. As of January 2021, it became the 4th DYWIDAG stay cable bridge in Indonesia.
