After 20 years of abandonment, the Putrajaya Monorail bridge is getting a new lease on life as it will be repurposed into a pedestrian walkway and cycling path.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, said that repurposing the monorail bridge has been one of the most common suggestions she has received from the public since her appointment.

“Under the Madani government, this issue has finally been resolved after 20 years. The bridge will soon become a popular attraction for tourists to enjoy the stunning views of Putrajaya Lake,” she said.
Meanwhile, Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) President, Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud, said the government has allocated RM15 million for the upgrade of the long-abandoned bridge. He added that the project is progressing steadily and is now halfway complete.

“Work is currently underway and is expected to be completed by December. Only the bridge connection, ramp, and finishing touches remain.”
Fadlun said the 200-metre bridge would be limited to bicycles and pedestrians only, as its original load capacity was designed for a monorail system.
