"Seahorse Island"
Primary tabs
Picture from Borneo Post.
Seahorse Island (not its official name) is planned to be a man-made island, in the shape of Miri's mascot - the seahorse - for the 3rd phase of the Brighton Beach's redevelopment master plan. Once completed this island will be about 800 metres off the coast from Brighton Beach, and the redevelopment is planned to feature recreational, commercial and residential areas.
Based on what the scale model shows, the proposed island will be a seahorse-shaped man-made isle connected by a bridge walkway to the beach, with twenty four "water-village" style chalet houses on the inner edge facing the beach, with a breakwater on the outer rim facing the South China Sea.
Ultimately, the Seahorse Isle comes full circle into the 'seahorse-looking island' mascot story.
The project is in the planning stages of development.

In late December 1980, strong winds, torrential rain, and heavy swells in the seas, constant heavy rains caused water from the Miri River to overflow into Lutong.
The old Piasau bridge was a Bailey bridge at Piasau linking from the peninsular to Piasau at the point closest to the sea. The bridge, originally made of steel and wood with a single lane to handle the occasional vehicle traffic crossing, has seen several upgrades over the years.
