Juba Nile Bridge

The Juba Nile Bridge is a road crossing over the White Nile in Juba, connecting the city with areas to the south. The structure has two separate roadways, each with a pedestrian path running alongside for foot traffic.

The bridge was built in 1974 using a combination of recycled materials from World War II structures and modern construction techniques. Its completion marked a major infrastructure achievement for the newly independent nation.

The bridge serves as a physical representation of South Sudan's progress, connecting communities across the Nile and enabling interaction between different tribal groups.

The bridge is open daily to both vehicles and pedestrians and connects key traffic routes through the city. Expect slower movement during busy periods, especially when heavy trucks are using the crossing.

The bridge underwent substantial repairs in 2012 following a bulldozer incident in 2010 that rendered one lane unusable for heavy vehicles.
