Kenjeran Bridge
History
Construction
The construction of the bridge began in January 2015 and was built by PT Hutama Karya, an Indonesian state-owned construction company. The bridge was built from the Kenjeran Beach Amusement Park (THP), part of the Eastern Surabaya Outer Ring-road project, across to the Bulak Fisheries Center (SIB) area and fishing settlements in Nambangan, Kedung Cowek.
Opening
The bridge was inaugurated on 9 July 2016, which was marked by the release of hundreds of fireworks and lanterns by the Mayor of Surabaya after pressing the button to sign the inauguration of the Suroboyo Bridge.
Critics
The bridge project was criticized by members of the Surabaya city council because it was assessed without good planning. An economic lecturer from Airlangga University, Nisful Laila, believes that the Kenjeran bridge is inefficient. Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology's urban planning expert Putu Rudy Setiawan added that the construction of the Kenjeran Bridge was lacking in planning. At the time, the Head of the Public Works and Public Works Office of the Surabaya City Highways and Eradication Office, Erna Purnawati, denied various arguments that the Kenjeran Bridge was built to advance the tourism sector in Surabaya.
