This small bridge provides a link between Permyjaya and Tudan areas to save on travelling time between the two areas over a small river that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Originally a 30-metre wooden bridge allowing only motorcycles and pedestrians, this bridge was upgraded to a Bailey bridge in 2013 that allowed heavier traffic to shorten travel times between Permyjaya and Tudan areas, which is known as 'Tudan Unity Bridge'. Prior to that motorists had to use the Lutong Highway, which was very inconvenient and resource consuming because it is actually a much longer way around.
