. Originally built in 1923–1926, the bridge collapsed in 2004 during a storm. Because the bridge had many memories and was the first bridge to be built in Sarawak, the government decided to rebuilt it in 2017 by choosing a local construction company, Pekerjaan Piasau Konkerit Sdn Bhd (PPK) as the main contractor. It was rebuilt in 2019, but work was suspended in October 2019 due to structural issues: an anchor block had become displaced. After structural correction and redesign, work resumed and the bridge was reopened 15 months later. The opening was officiated by then Chief Minister of Sarawak (now Premier), Abang Zohari Openg on 21 November 2021.https://www.astroawani.com/gaya-hidup/hanya-dua-hari-jambatan-gantung-satok-dibuka-kepada-umum-sempena-tahun-baharu-339356 Near the bridge is the Datuk Patinggi Haji Abdul Rahman Bridge.
