Kazungula Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Kazungula, Botswana and Zambia.

The Kazungula Bridge spans 923 meters across the Zambezi River, featuring a curved design with a width of 18.5 meters and a longest span of 129 meters.

The bridge construction started in 2014 as a replacement for ferry services that experienced accidents, leading to its completion and opening in May 2021.

The concrete structure connects two cities named Kazungula on both sides of the border, strengthening the relationships between Botswana and Zambia.

This international crossing eliminates the need for ferries, reducing travel time and transportation costs while improving trade efficiency between the two nations.

The bridge design follows a curved path to avoid entering Zimbabwe and Namibia territories, creating a connection point near where four African countries meet.
