This was followed by the Ground Breaking Ceremony, jointly officiated by Brigadier General Aldi bin Haji Hassan, RBLF Commander, and Major General Cai Dexian, Chief of Army, Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and SR.

Originally built jointly by the Royal Brunei Land Forces and the Singapore Army in 2016, the Sungai Buaya Bridge is now set for renewal, with work officially beginning a decade later. The project will replace the existing bridge with a higher-capacity structure, improving access through the Binturan Firing Range and allowing larger, heavier vehicles to cross more easily. The renewal of Sungai Buaya Bridge stands as a tangible milestone that represents five decades of enduring partnership and close defence cooperation between the two armed forces.
