Victoria Bridge, Kuala Kangsar

Victoria Bridge, Kuala KangsarVictoria Bridge, Kuala Kangsar (16 September, 2005)


The Victoria Bridge (GPS: 4.83709, 100.9622) is a disused railway bridge that crosses the Perak River at Karai, near Kuala Kangsar. It was built between 1897 and 1900 during the reign of Sultan Idris Mersid-El Aazam Shah. The engineer for the project was C.R. Hanson.

The original Victoria Bridge is now no longer in use, as a new concrete bridge has taken over its role. The concrete bridge is just 15 metres away from the original bridge. You can catch a glimpse of it from the above photograph, which I shot when a group of AsiaExplorers members and I visited the Victoria Bridge on our way to Cameron Highlands.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
