Msikaba Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge near Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape, South Africa
The Msikaba Bridge extends 580 meters across the Msikaba River, supported by two concrete pylons reaching 127 meters into the sky.
The construction project began in February 2019 through a joint venture between South African company Concor and Portuguese firm Mota-Engil at a cost of 1.65 billion rand.
The bridge construction employed 70 percent of its workforce from nearby communities, creating substantial employment opportunities in the Eastern Cape region.
Upon completion in 2025, the bridge will reduce travel time between Durban and East London by three hours for transport vehicles on the N2 highway.
The bridge deck stands 194 meters above the valley floor, making this structure the third highest bridge across the African continent.
