Labuan–Menumbok Bridge (Malay: Jambatan Labuan–Menumbok) or Labuan Bridge is a new planned bridge connecting Labuan Island in Federal Territory of Labuan and Menumbok in Sabah, Malaysia.

History

The proposal to develop a bridge between Labuan and Sabah has been met with a positive welcomed by both residents in the island and Sabah as well from various local politicians. However, there is still no commitment from the Sabah state government to develop such project although a China's firm has shown an interest to build the bridge without any cash payment by only giving them a land swap near the proposed bridge area as a return. An economic investment vehicle linked with Labuan Corporation (LC) also willing to undertake the project for the same reason as the LC chairman, Rozman Isli has stated "any further indecision would result in higher cost to build the bridge in the future". Rozman as well has urging the Sabah state government to include the bridge development as part of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway.
