Steel framing and suspension cables give the old Bantar Bridge a recognisable form above the Progo River. The bridge connects Sentolo in Kulon Progo with Sedayu in Bantul. DIY heritage documentation explains how cables, towers and girders work together to transfer loads. The archive photograph looks along its span, with another bridge visible to the right. Their different forms offer a way to read changes in infrastructure at a shared crossing. A visit can provide an opportunity to recognise engineering heritage and the river’s relationship with journeys between regions. Observe only from permitted areas; an older photograph is not guidance to enter traffic lanes or cross barriers.

Local notes —
The old bridge spans Sentolo in Kulon Progo and Argosari, Sedayu in Bantul. The catalogue follows the Bantul heritage address; the map listing names Sentolo. Its pin marks the structure, not an entrance or a surveyed safe viewpoint. Confirm visiting areas and follow local barriers and traffic controls.
