Hmm...after reading this post,i did some research on Berelang Bridge...the view and ambience from the bridge and on the bridge is indeed very impressive.
Read in some online articles, it appears this bridge is a very quiet place with hardly any vehicle passing thru it. The bridge consist of 6 parts that link up the other 3 islands together with Batam island. It was build by an ex President of Indo with the intention to improve trade within these places but the plan was somehow abandoned. Good part of the bridge is ,it is now one of the icon of Batam,some say looking over the bridge has some therapeutic healing effect on a person's mind and soul...and as for the bad part,a handful has chosen this bridge to end their journey in life.
A taxi trip from Nagoya will take roughly between 40 mins to an hour. Below a map i post here for my future navigation (i believe for that kind of time/distance,it is very likely to cost about 100 rupiah or more just to go there) :
Some sample pictures collected from the web below on the beautiful scenery of Berelang Bridge and i combined them into one single photo due to the forum's inability to have more than 4 photos in a single post :
