The Suramadu Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Suramadu), also known as the Surabaya–Madura Bridge, is a three-section cable-stayed bridge built between Surabaya on the island of Java and Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. Inaugurated on June 10, 2009, the 5.4 km (3.4 mi) long bridge is the longest in Indonesia and the first bridge to cross the Madura Strait.

The cable-stayed bridge has three spans, measuring 192 m, 434 m, and 192 m. The bridge has two lanes in each direction, plus an emergency lane and a dedicated lane for motorcycles. As the first toll bridge in Indonesia, the toll was initially set at Rp 30,000 (US$3 in 2009) for four-wheeled vehicles and Rp 3,000 (US$0.30) for two-wheeled vehicles. The bridge was built by a consortium of Indonesian companies, PT AdhiKarya and PT WaskitaKarya, in collaboration with China Road and Bridge Corp. and China Harbor Engineering Co. Ltd. The total cost of the project, including the connecting road, was estimated at 4.5 trillion rupiah (US$445 million).

Construction began on August 20, 2003. In July 2004, a girder collapsed, killing one worker and injuring nine others. Work on the bridge halted in late 2004 due to lack of funding, but resumed in November 2005. The main span of the bridge was connected on March 31, 2009, and the bridge opened to the public on June 10, 2009.

From here, you can also freely gaze out to sea and watch the sunset slowly turn reddish on the horizon. The reflected light creates a shimmer on the sea's surface.

The Maritime Platform also serves as an open-air stadium to witness the beauty of the coastal waters in front of Losari Beach. These coastal waters are often used as a venue for jet ski racing, traditional jolloro katinting boat races, and as a transit point for traditional Sandeq sailboats and yachts.
