Imbaba Bridge, Road bridge across the Nile in Cairo, Egypt
The Imbaba Bridge spans 1,608 feet across the Nile River, featuring four sets of stairs with two positioned on each riverbank.
The Belgian firm Baume-Marpent constructed the current bridge between 1912 and 1924, replacing an earlier structure from 1891 that served rail traffic.
The bridge design incorporates grand staircases reflecting the architectural preferences during the reign of King Fouad the First of Egypt.
Six fixed spans and one swing span enable both continuous road traffic flow and river navigation, with the swing section operating through electrical or manual control.
From the bridge deck, travelers can observe the National Bank of Egypt, Arkadia Mall, Cairo Tower, and the Gezira Sheraton Hotel along the Nile.
