**Youtefa Bridge** (previously **Holtekamp Bridge**)[1] is a steel arch type bridge over Youtefa Bay, [Jayapura](/source/Jayapura), [Papua](/source/Papua_(province)), [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia) that connects Holtekamp in [Muara Tami District](/source/List_of_districts_of_Papua) with Hamadi in Jayapura Selatan District. The bridge cut the distance and travel time from Jayapura city center to Muara Tami District as well as Skouw State Border Post at [Indonesia–Papua New Guinea border](/source/Indonesia%E2%80%93Papua_New_Guinea_border).

## History

The bridge construction was carried out by consortium of state-owned construction companies PT Pembangunan Perumahan Tbk, PT Hutama Karya (Persero), and PT Nindya Karya (Persero), with a total construction cost of IDR 1.87 trillion and support from the [Ministry of Public Works and Housing](/source/Ministry_of_Public_Works_and_Housing_(Indonesia)) worth IDR 1.3 trillion.[2] The main span assembly of the Youtefa Bridge was not carried out at the bridge site, but at [PAL Indonesia](/source/PT_PAL_Indonesia) shipyard in [Surabaya](/source/Surabaya), [East Java](/source/East_Java). Its production in Surabaya aims to improve safety aspects, enhance welding quality, and speed up the implementation time to 3 months. This is the first time where the [arch bridge](/source/Arch_bridge) is made elsewhere and then brought to the location.[3]

From Surabaya the bridge span, weighing 2000 tons and 112.5 m long, was sent by ship with a 3,200 kilometers journey in 19 days.[4][5] Installation of the first span was carried out on February 21, 2018, while the second span was installed on March 15, 2018 with an installation time of about 6 hours.[6] The bridge was inaugurated on 28 October 2019 by [President Joko Widodo](/source/Joko_Widodo).[7]

## Records

The [Indonesian World Records Museum](/source/Indonesian_World_Records_Museum) gave two records for the Youtefa Bridge construction project, namely the record for the delivery of a complete steel frame bridge with the furthest distance, and the record for the installation of the longest intact steel frame bridge.[3]
