Youtefa Bridge (previously Holtekamp Bridge){{Cite journal|url=https://economy.okezone.com/read/2019/10/28/470/2122705/jembatan-holtekamp-berganti-nama-jadi-youtefa-ini-alasannya|title=Jembatan Holtekamp Berganti Nama Jadi Youtefa, Ini Alasannya|first=Adhyasta|last=Dirgantara|website=economy.okezone.com|date=28 October 2019 }} is a steel arch type bridge over Youtefa Bay, Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia that connects Holtekamp in Muara Tami District with Hamadi in Jayapura Selatan District. The bridge cut the distance and travel time from Jayapura city center to Muara Tami District as well as Skouw State Border Post at Indonesia–Papua New Guinea border.
History
The bridge construction was carried out by consortium of state-owned construction companies PT Pembangunan Perumahan Tbk, PT Hutama Karya (Persero), and PT Nindya Karya (Persero), with a total construction cost of IDR 1.87 trillion and support from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing worth IDR 1.3 trillion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.merdeka.com/uang/jembatan-holtekamp-siap-diresmikan-juli-2019.html|title=Jembatan Holtekamp Siap Diresmikan Juli 2019|website=merdeka.com|date=April 2019 }} The main span assembly of the Youtefa Bridge was not carried out at the bridge site, but at PAL Indonesia shipyard in Surabaya, East Java. Its production in Surabaya aims to improve safety aspects, enhance welding quality, and speed up the implementation time to 3 months. This is the first time where the arch bridge is made elsewhere and then brought to the location.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pu.go.id/berita/view/16826/menteri-basuki-jembatan-holtekamp-jayapura-siap-diresmikan-juli-2019|title=Menteri Basuki : Jembatan Holtekamp Jayapura Siap Diresmikan Juli 2019|website=pu.go.id}}
From Surabaya the bridge span, weighing 2000 tons and 112.5 m long, was sent by ship with a 3,200 kilometers journey in 19 days.{{Cite journal|url= https://bisnis.tempo.co/read/1191615/pupr-jembatan-holtekamp-jadi-solusi-kepadatan-penduduk-jayapura/full&view=ok|title=Jembatan Holtekamp Jadi Solusi Kepadatan Penduduk Jayapura|first=Editor: Kodrat Setiawan|last=Reporter: Antara|website=bisnis.tempo.co}}{{Cite web|url= https://pu.go.id/berita/view/15134/bentang-utama-pertama-jembatan-holtekamp-tiba-lebih-cepat-di-jayapura|title=Bentang Utama Pertama Jembatan Holtekamp Tiba Lebih Cepat di Jayapura|website=pu.go.id}} Installation of the first span was carried out on February 21, 2018, while the second span was installed on March 15, 2018 with an installation time of about 6 hours.{{Cite journal|url= https://www.liputan6.com/regional/read/3376095/soekarnopura-pengganti-nama-jembatan-holtekamp-jayapura|title=Soekarnopura Pengganti Nama Jembatan Holtekamp Jayapura|first=Katharina|last=Janur|website=liputan6.com|date=16 March 2018 }} The bridge was inaugurated on 28 October 2019 by President Joko Widodo.{{Cite web|url=https://www.setneg.go.id/baca/index/resmikan_jembatan_youtefa_presiden_jokowi_jadikan_sebagai_momentum_papua_bangkit_maju|title=Resmikan Jembatan Youtefa, Presiden Jokowi: Jadikan sebagai Momentum Papua Bangkit Maju|website=setneg.go.id}}
