The Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Bridge, also known as the Temburong Bridge, is a testament to Brunei's commitment to modernity and innovation. Spanning 30 kilometers across Brunei Bay, it is the longest bridge in Southeast Asia and a vital transportation link connecting Mengkubau and Sungai Besar in Brunei-Muara District with Labu Estate in Temburong District. Opened in March 2020, the bridge allows commuters to travel between the mainland and the Temburong exclave without crossing Malaysian territory, bypassing four immigration checkpoints. Previously, the only direct connection between the capital and Bangar, the district town, was via water taxi, which took approximately 45 minutes. The bridge features unique architectural elements reflecting Brunei's cultural and religious identity. Star and crescent symbols adorn the highest points, signifying Brunei as a Muslim state. Road signs featuring Islamic declarations remind drivers to remember Allah. The bridge's triangular, gem-like structure symbolizes the nation's strength and resilience. Driving across the bridge on a clear day offers breathtaking views of Brunei Bay and the Labu Forest Reserve.
