For me and all Malaccans who celebrated the recent Chinese New Year of the Tiger in Malacca, you will have noticed that the old Hang Tuah Bridge, next to the former Cathay Cinema, has already been demolished.

The old bridge had piles piled in the Melaka River which narrows the water flow of the Melaka River.

From our sources, the new Hang Tuah Bridge will be a suspension bridge i.e. no piles will be constructed inside the Melaka River. By doing so, the water will flow smoothly and boats can easily pass below the bridge.
