Governor Ansar Ahmad expressed his gratitude for the completion of this soil investigation survey. “The survey results are crucial for the review design of the Batam-Bintan Bridge. We will promptly report the findings to the central government,” he stated.
To follow up on the survey results, the Kepri Provincial Government has allocated IDR 500 million to continue the design process for the Batam-Bintan Bridge, incorporating the survey findings.
The scope of the completed survey includes:
- Coastal topographic survey
- Bathymetry, tidal, current, and wave survey
- Sub-bottom profiling survey
- Offshore geotechnical survey
This survey is a crucial step in preparing the readiness criteria before the construction of the Batam-Bintan Bridge begins.
Based on technical data, Bridge 1 (Batam-Tanjung Sauh) will span 2.2 km, while Bridge 2 (Tanjung Sauh-Bintan) will stretch 5.3 km.
Governor Ansar expressed his optimism that the central government will support the realization of the Riau Islands community’s dream of having a bridge connecting Batam and Bintan.

Untuk menindaklanjuti hasil survei, Pemerintah Provinsi Kepri telah menganggarkan dana sebesar Rp500 juta yang akan digunakan untuk melanjutkan desain Jembatan Batam-Bintan dengan mengadopsi hasil survei penyelidikan tanah.
Lingkup survei yang telah dilakukan meliputi survey topografi pesisir, survey bathymetry, pasang surut, arus dan gelombang, survey sub bottom profiling, serta survey geoteknik offshore. Survei ini menjadi tahapan penting dalam menyiapkan readiness criteria sebelum dimulainya pembangunan Jembatan Batam-Bintan.
Berdasarkan data teknis, jembatan 1 yang menghubungkan Batam-Tanjung Sauh memiliki panjang 2,2 Km, sementara jembatan 2 yang menghubungkan Tanjung Sauh-Bintan sepanjang 5,3 Km.
