Bunting Island Bridge is a bridge that connects Bunting Island to mainland Yan, Kedah state, Malaysia. The bridge was built by the Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR) while the main contractor was Gamuda Berhad.

It was constructed between 2002 and 2005.

The bridge remains underused and has become a white elephant project. As Bunting Island is uninhabited, the project has been widely criticised for serving no purpose while incurring a cost of RM 120 million. ^[1]

The disenchantment of the locals remains unknown to the rest of the country.

It is a 2.3-kilometre-long (1.4 mi) ×ばつ 13.0-metre-wide (42.7 ft) sea crossing consisting of a 1.8-kilometre-long (1.1 mi) bridge, a 0.1-kilometre-long (0.062 mi) causeway connecting Bunting Island to the bridge and a 0.4-kilometre-long (0.25 mi) causeway connecting mainland Kedah to the bridge. The bridge is an arch cable-stayed bridge with a main suspended span of 80 m in length and approach spans of precast concrete box beams with spans of 30 m in length. The causeways have fill embankments on piled foundations with rock armouring.
