Mozambique Large-Span Bridge

Home / Mozambique Large-Span Bridge

The suspension bridge with the largest span in Africa - the Maputo-Katembe Bridge - opened in November 2018, in Mozambique. The bridge connects the Mozambican capital Maputo, on the northern bank, with its disjunct suburb of Katembe on the southern bank. For a long time, the Mozambicans have envisioned making the country accessible from north to south via roads and motorways and, in particular, to create a connection to Swaziland and South Africa. Moreover, thanks to the transport connection to the Southern coastal region, a development corridor. An African country now boasts the continent's longest suspension bridge, a £600 million infrastructure marvel designed to enhance connectivity and stimulate economic growth.
