Merdeka Bridge or Jambatan Merdeka is a major bridge in Malaysia. It is situated in Federal Route at the Penang-Kedah Border on Muda River.
It was constructed between 1955 and 1957. The bridge was officially opened in 1957 when Malaya achieved its independence, hence its name. The bridge was initially a 2-lane single carriageway bridge before being duplicated on another side for Penang-bound traffic to increase traffic capacity.
It is a concrete truss girder bridge.
