Satok Bridge or Jambatan Satok is a suspension bridge in Kuching city, Sarawak, Malaysia. 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 rebuild 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.[3] After structural correction and redesign, work resumed and the bridge was reopened 15 months later.[4] The opening was officiated by then Chief Minister of Sarawak (now Premier), Abang Zohari Openg on 21 November 2021.[5][6]
Near the bridge is the Datuk Patinggi Haji Abdul Rahman Bridge.
