Kuala Terengganu Drawbridge is a part of the projects for the East Coast Economic Region (ECER). It is the first drawbridge built in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, constructed by Zelan Construction Sdn Bhd with a cost of RM248 million. The construction of the bridge started in August 2014 and was completed in mid-2019. This drawbridge is also a component in the development of Kuala Terengganu City Centre (KTCC)
Its design was inspired by London Tower Bridge in London. The drawbridge has a 23-metre-wide single-carriageway that spans 638 metres over the mouth of Terengganu River. It connects Muara Selatan (South Bank), a reclaimed area in Kuala Terengganu city centre, near Tanjung, and Muara Utara (North Bank) in Seberang Takir. It has a 12.5 metre clearance above water when the double-leafed span is closed. The clear span of the drawbridge is 50 metres long.There are four 15-storey towers, with each set of two towers connected by a skybridge.The towers contained with lobbies that allow visitors to go up to the commercial areas located at the skybridges. At night, the structures are lit up with colourful illuminations] The drawbridge allows users to cut their travelling time between Sultan Mahmud Airport as well as Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and Kuala Terengganu by about 15 minutes. A four-lane coastal road was built to connect the bridge with Kuala Nerus.
