Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing (Secondlink)
When
travelling between Singapore and Malaysia, there is
no more convenient way to go than the easily
accessible Second Link. Broad expressways provide a
fast, smooth crossing, while the various facilities
offer all the convenience and comfort you require on
your journey. Second Link is the obvious choice for
both people and goods crossing between Singapore and
Malaysia. Whether you call it the
‘Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing’, just the
‘Second Crossing’ or even ‘Linkedua’, the Second
Link refers to the bridge that spans the stretch
between Singapore and Malaysia. It extends a total
of 44 km from Tanjong Kupang to Senai in Johor,
Malaysia and a twin deck bridge supporting a dual
three-lane carriageway linking Tanjung Kupang in
Johor and Tuas In Singapore.
The Second Link was first opened to traffic on 2
January 1998. It was officially opened on 18 April
the same year by the then Prime Ministers of both
countries, namely Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad of
Malaysia and Mr Goh Chok Tong of Singapore. The
Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing heralded a new
era in bilateral relations, and brought with it the
promise of improved economic and social ties.
Today the Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing, also
known as the Second Link, provides speedy clearance
and a hassle-free journey to commuters. This
alternative route to the now infamous Causeway is
certainly much faster, easier and safer. The Second
Link is already being regarded as the obvious choice
for the transportation of people and goods between
Malaysia and Singapore. |
