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.

Lutong Bridge is the bridge linking Pujut 8 to Lutong across Miri River. This bridge was originally single-lane for each direction, but eventually upgraded in the early 2000s to accommodate for more traffic to double-lane going each direction. There is actually a road that goes beneath this bridge linking to Lutong Baru, effectively making this bridge Miri's very first 'overpass'.
Gloria Hotel and Golden Restaurant along Brooke Road is familiar to many Mirians
Located in middle of Beautiful Jade Center, Persiaran Kabor, also known as Old Folks' Street (Lao Ren Jie 老人街) is a roofed area in between shoplots where coffeeshops lay out tables and chairs along where folks congregate there for breakfast or tea, drinks, chatting with one another, and passing their time.
