Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that runs over the Miri-Pujut Road in front of Boulevard Commercial Center, just before the Miri-Pujut Flyover.
After a spike in accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles around that area, the bridge was finally proposed and built.
Design blunders - Oddly enough, there are only one set of stair cases on each side and one side is pointed away from the residential areas. The bridge section is roofed to protect pedestrians from rain and sun, but the stairs are not.
Controversy : At a cost of about 1 million Ringgit each these bridges raised some eyebrows considering that what you can get for buying a 500k house AND fully furnish it with change.
