The Malaysian government has recently announced an exciting program for the old Johor- Singapore Causeway as an effort to revamp the aging causeway!
The newly established Jabatan Jambatan- Jambatan Malaysia (JAMBAN) which is assigned to undertake the program didn't disappoint us. In fact, they revealed their proposed design for the causeway - the New Fountain Bridge, an (not so) original concept of installing fountains throughout the bridge!
Proposed Water Fountain Bridge
The idea is to install water fountain along the bridge and when you drive from one end to the other, you'll be entertained by the movements of water splashing out, in time with colorful LEDs that would add more elements to the bridge.
JAMBAN's design is believed to be able to bring (even more) congestion traffic to the existing Johor- Singapore Causeway and thus boosting tourism to the bridge country. There's also plan to build more tolls to collect more money from tourists for causeway maintenance and the possibility to build a second identical bridge. However, JAMBAN denied any link to the Banpo bridge in Seoul, Korea when asked of the originality of the idea.
