History
[edit]The original Bota Bridge (FT5) collapsed in 1967 due to a major flood, disrupting transportation between Ipoh and Lumut. Consequently, the Sultan Idris Shah II Bridge FT5 was constructed as a replacement at a cost of RM3.1 million.[1] Completed in 1973, the new bridge was opened to traffic in February of that year.[2]
