Juba Nile Bridge

The Juba Nile Bridge spans 252 meters across the White Nile with two adjacent structures, each including a pedestrian sidewalk for crossing.

Constructed in 1974 by Dutch company De Groot International, the bridge incorporated materials from World War II-era Bailey bridges at a cost of 2.5 million dollars.

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

Until 2022, this structure remained the sole bridge crossing the White Nile in South Sudan, facilitating trade routes between Juba and neighboring countries Uganda and Kenya.

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