Description
Adalah merupakan jambatan keretapi yang terpanjang sekali di Malaysia yang mana ianya telah dibina pada tahun 1921 dan siap pada tahun 1924. Jambatan ini juga merupakan jambatan yang pertama merentasi Sg. Kelantan. Tujuan pembinaan jambatan ini oleh Inggeris adalah untuk keperluan ekonomi dan strategi peperangan. Dengan terbinanya jambatan ini pihak Inggeris telah dapat mengangkut hasil getah (dari ladang-ladang) mereka yang terdapat di negeri Kelantan dengan murah dan cepat. Sebahagian daripada jambatan ini pernah dimusnahkan oleh British semasa pendaratan tentera Jepun di Tanah Melayu pada tahun 1941 dan telah diperbaiki setelah perang tamat.
The Guillemard Bridge is currently the longest railway bridge in Malaysia. It was first built in 1921 and eventually completed in 1924. It was also the first bridge ever constructed over Kelantan River. The construction of the bridge by the British was for economy needs and war strategies. With the completion of the bridge, the British finally acquired an upperhand in transporting rubber from estates in Kelantan. Parts of the bridge were demolished by the British to curb the Japanese troops from advancing to Singapore in 1941. The bridge was and glory and it continues to serve the people until this day.
