Suramadu Bridge is the longest bridge in Indonesia. The location is in East Java, Indonesia, across Madura Strait. It called 'SURAMADU' because that bridge connected Surabaya and Madura Island (Bangkalan), so SURA from Surabaya and MADU from Madura. It is 5438 meters long and about 30 meters wide. It was built in 2003 and inaugurated in 2009 by President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The construction of Suramadu bridge has proven to be very helpful the development of Madura island, especially in economics.

This bridge is basically a combination of three types of bridges. First, causeway construction was built to connect the bridge with the road through the shallow waters on either side of the island. The second is approach bridge, it connects the main bridge with causeway. And the last is main bridge, it consists of three parts, two side spans 192 meters long and one along the 434-meter main span. The main bridge using a cable stayed construction supported by the twin towers as high as 140 meters.
In case of fog and hard winds above 40 km/h the motorcyclist lane should be closed. Because the wind speeds that could lose the balance of motorcycles. In addition visibility is also short because of fog. After the rain subsided and fog reduced motorcyclist lanes will be reopened. So that people do not need to worry.

Good idea Gunter. Yep, a link to googlemaps would be much better
ReplyDeleteHello Emma :)
ReplyDeleteYet again, a nice piece of writing. I see that you are trying very hard and that you have already reached a decent level of writing which is excellent. Keep up this splendid work.
This time however, I did manage to find some errors, contrary to your recent writing about the TinkerBell :) But don't worry, the story of the Suramadu Bridge is much longer so it is natural that some mistakes occured. Shall we correct them? :)
First of all, when you discussed the bridge size you should have said "ITS length is 5438 meters" or "the Bridge is 5438 meters LONG" But I do believe this might just have been a spelling mistake ;) Nevertheless, be sure to avoid it
Now the sentence: "The construction of this bridge is very helpful the development in Madura island especially in economics." is the sentece that is not clar enough and we should work to make it better :) First of all, the bridge has already been constructed, so we will use present perfect. Secondary, after the word "helpful" you need to say "to who" this construction was actually helpful. In this case you have ommited the word "to" which is essential. Another thing - the word "development". Since you mean that it was Madura Island that has improved its standards because of the construction, you should say "the development OF MI" instead of "the development in MI". This will sound better. Plus, we could add a veeeeery nice and sophisticated phrase "prove to be" which means that it has resulted in something" So how about we change the sentence into" The construction of the Suramandu Bridge has proven to be very helpful to the development of Madura Island, especially in economics. Sounds more coherent, right? :)
At the very end you write "In case of fog and hard winds above 40 km/h then the motorcyclist lane should be closed" But the trick is, after such phrases as "in case of" you never add words like "then" because the first phrase already denotes the situation. The correct version should not have "then" so it would be "In case of fog and hard winds above 40 km/h the motorcyclist lane should be closed" That's it :)
And finally, I am not sure if a wind can actually "eliminate" the balance ;) Instead, try writing "Because the wind speeds could make the motorcyclists LOSE their balance/ could KNOCK the motorcyclists OFF BALANCE....
All in all however, I see that you are a very enthusiastic person and you write a lot. I have managed to give my comments of the TinkerBell and now on the Suramadu Bridge. So let's make a deal, shall we? :) I want to see you write even more so I can help you improve your english, and you by writing a lot will force me to think more and help me improve my english as well :)
So Emma, do we have a deal? :)
Regards
DEAL :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to accept your help :D
it's a good progress for me
by the way do you have your own blog ?
hey do you know during Eid-ul-Fitr holiday like this, the bridge is very crowded because most of Indonesian Muslims have homecoming tradition. Many Madura's people work in Surabaya and when holiday come they will come back to their hometown and pass this bridge. So there was traffic jam for several hours at the bridge entrance to Madura island.
Hey :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy that you have accepted my help as well :)
And no, I do not have a blog of my own. I prefer to post comments on other people's blogs than to have my own :) thanks for asking though :)
I guess you have your own blog so I can visit and leaving my comments back :)
