The Lawas Bridge or Batang Lawas Bridge is a bridge near Lawas town in Limbang Division, Sarawak, Malaysia. Located at the Lawas-Merapok-Sindumin Highway FT1, the bridge was originally the only suspension bridge in Sarawak, that was designed for motor vehicles.[1] The old suspension bridge was ultimately replaced by a single-tower cable-stayed bridge in 2014.[2]
