Sultan Idris Shah II Bridge or Jambatan Sultan Idris Shah II is a bridge in Perak Tengah district, Perak, Malaysia. It is located on Ipoh-Lumut Highway Federal route crossing Perak River in Bota connecting Bota Kiri and Bota Kanan. The bridge was named after the 33rd Sultan of Perak, Almarhum Sultan Idris Al-Mutawakkil Allahi Shah II Afifullah.

History

In 1967, the old Bota Bridge FT5 was collapsed due to a huge flood, effectively cutting off the transportation link between Ipoh and Lumut. As a result, a new replacement bridge known as the Sultan Idris Shah II Bridge FT5 was constructed with the total cost of RM3.1 million.[1] The new Sultan Idris Shah II Bridge FT5 was completed in 1973 and was opened to motorists on February 1973.[2]
