Mtentu Bridge, Road bridge in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Mtentu Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Mtentu River in Eastern Cape. The structure spans a deep valley to connect both sides of the riverbank.
The project started in 2017 with plans to link two previously isolated regions. The construction faced various obstacles that delayed its completion.
The bridge project incorporates input from local communities along the Wild Coast region, connecting previously separated populations across the Mtentu River valley.
The structure is best accessed from the main road that connects both sides of the gorge. Visitors should expect changing weather since the area is exposed to the elements.
The structure will rank among Africa's tallest bridge structures when completed. Its construction uses spans that builders had not previously achieved at this scale.
