Map of Miri in 1976

First pedestrian bridge in Miri, built alongside the multi-story car park, linking it across Jalan Kingsway allowing access to the old town center and across the road directly.

Kuching is Sarawak's capital and oldest city and was voted as one of the most livable cities in Asia in year 2000.

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'.

'Commercial shipping' utilizing Miri as a port goes back to as early as when Miri was merely a fishing village. Being the site of the first discovery of oil in Borneo in 1910 quickened the business and pace and progress of Miri, establishing it an important and leading port for the majority of the 20th century in the region for oil and then timber industries.
