About This Destination
The Alor Setar Old Iron Railway Bridge stands as a testament to Malaysia's colonial railway heritage. Built during the British colonial era, this iron bridge formed a crucial part of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) network, connecting the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia and facilitating trade, movement, and development across the region.
The bridge showcases 19th-century industrial architecture with its wrought-iron construction and iconic riveted design. Its location in Kampung Pegawai places it within easy reach of Alor Setar's main railway station, making it accessible for visitors exploring the city's historical attractions.
