At the end of 2025, the Indonesian president Mr. Prabowo inaugurated the new Pandansimo Bantul Yogyakarta bridge. The bridge has length of about 2.000 meters and is the longest in Yogyakarta Province. Become the link between Bantul and Kulon Progo regencies and stands on the mouth of the Progo river. A few days ago, I passed by and saw the sunset at the mouth of Progo river.
What a beautiful view and a shame to miss, a long this new bridge there is a pedestrian walkway. There are several places to rest while enjoying the view of the south coast. In the middle of this bridge is the right place to admire the beauty of the sunset at the mouth of Progo river.
This bridge is also a favorite place for anglers. They usually rent a boat to transport the fisherman and take them under the bridge. On each bridge pole there is a place that is quite wide and on the water, that is where they fish. Whit this bridge, the surrounding community can easily distribute their natural products. Because there are so many community potentials that can be developed in this area.
Examples are products from the sea such as fish, salt and shrimp ponds. The surrounding community also grows sweet potatoes and chilies which have very good results. So for those of you who visit Yogyakarta, I recommend taking the time to visit this bridge.
