The Sunda Strait Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Selat Sunda, JSS, sometimes referred to in English-language reports as the SSB) is a planned road and railway megaproject between the two Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java. In October 2007, after years of discussion and planning, the Indonesian government gave the initial go-ahead for a project which includes several of the world’s longest suspension bridges, across the 27 km (17 mi) Sunda Strait.
