Critics

The bridge project was criticized by members of the Surabaya city council because it was assessed without good planning. An economic lecturer from Airlangga University, Nisful Laila, believes that the Kenjeran bridge is inefficient. Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology's urban planning expert Putu Rudy Setiawan added that the construction of the Kenjeran Bridge was lacking in planning. At the time, the Head of the Public Works and Public Works Office of the Surabaya City Highways and Eradication Office, Erna Purnawati, denied various arguments that the Kenjeran Bridge was built to advance the tourism sector in Surabaya.{{Cite web|url=http://www.surabayapagi.com/read/138050/2016/06/01/Jembatan_Kenjeran_Dibangun_Asal-asalan.html|title=Jembatan Kenjeran Dibangun Asal-asalan|website=www.surabayapagi.com|language=id|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308085524/http://www.surabayapagi.com/read/138050/2016/06/01/Jembatan_Kenjeran_Dibangun_Asal-asalan.html|archive-date=2019-03-08|access-date=2019-03-08}}
