Saloma Link Bridge (Pintasan Saloma) KL, the latest Instagrammable attraction in Kuala Lumpur is finally opened!
Located in between Lorong Raja Muda Musa 3 (Kampung Baru Side) and Jalan Saloma (KLCC-Ampang side), this bridge, which took nearly 2 years to complete, and is finally opened to public in early of February 2020!
The launching of Saloma Bridge signifying not only a greater effort in promoting our Malaysia tourism, but also increases the convenience for locals when comes to accessing these two places.
Before this, the walking time from Kampung Baru to KLCC will take more than 30 minutes by default as they are separated by the broad, busy Alkeh highway and Klang Rivers. But now, the journey is shorten to less than 10 minutes by crossing the pedestrian bridge! How awesome!
How to reach Saloma Bridge?
Align at Kampung Baru LRT Station for access from Kampung Baru side. For KLCC side, walk pass Public Bank, turn right into Jalan Saloma when you saw NZ Currry House. Walk straight and the bridge will come in sight after you walk on the ramp.
The entire bridge is not long, just 69m but so beautiful with architecture design inspired by Sireh Junjung, or betel leaf arrangement. Walk under the covered section and appreciate the design, we felt so proud with Malaysia for building this thoughtful bridge!
Better connectivity for the old and new KL!
We believe that it will fast becoming a popular attraction in the KL city among the local and tourists. Guess it will be crowded with people for KLCC New Year fireworks in coming years too.
Saloma Link will not likely to open 24-hours a day. For now, opening hours begins from 5AM to 1AM for Monday – Saturday. While for Sunday and public holidy, it will be 5AM to 12midnight.
Find a time to visit! Enjoy a great view of KLCC, take some pictures on the bridge and head over the Kampung baru to explore delicious local food that Malaysian grown up loving. Check out famous restaurant including Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, Suraya Seafood, Nasi Lemak, Wanjo Kampung Baru, Kak Som and more.
