Was there with my mom and uncle. It is easy to reach this location both online transportation and public transportation can get you here. Built around 60s, the architects were from Japan. Was called Musi bridge untill in 60s they had "Amanat Penderitaan Rakyat (Ampera)" named for the bridge. The middle of the bridge could elevate so the big ships can cross it, but not recently. It aged. So yeah. It's Palembang city icon. Historical and cozy

The iconic landmark of the capital city of South Sumatera, Palembang. It was a part of this city history. You will found the same heavy traffic every morning and evening. The best time to visit this bridge is at night.

This is an iconic bridge of the city. Icall this bridge iconic because you can't find a same bridge anywhere else. Its architecture however is bland, since it was built in the 60s. Good for landscape viewing since you can see much of the city, espexually its southern part from this place. Best visited when the sun is not quite far from the horizon around dawn till 7 a.m or 5 p.m till night. Expect pollution from the traffics.

Four stars for its beauty. This place don't have any recreation or shop. This is just a city icon that happen to be a bridge, like golden gate in San Fransisco. However you can enjoy the view which is best at night when all the light are on, make the bridge glows.
The best place to enjoy ampera bridge sight is at Riverside restaurant, kampung kapitan and 10 uluresponse / report this review -

Ampera Bridge is a Vertical-lift bridge in the city of Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, which is the landmark of the city. It connects Seberang Ulu and Seberang Ilir, two regions of Palembang. It can no longer be opened to allow ships to pass.
The bridge was planned during the era of Indonesia's first president, who wanted a bridge that could open and be a match for London's Tower Bridge. The funds for the construction came from Japanese war reparations, with the Fuji Car Manufacturing Co. Ltd being given responsibility for design and construction. However, at the time, Japan had no bridges of this type, and Fuji Car had no bridge-building experience. The official opening was carried out by Minister/Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Ahmad Yani on 30 September 1965, only hours before he was killed by troops belonging to the 30 September Movement. At first, the bridge was known as the Bung Karno Bridge, after the president, but following his fall, it was renamed the Ampera Bridgeresponse / report this review -
