Brazzaville–Kinshasa Bridge, Railway bridge between Kinshasa and Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of Congo.

The 1.575-kilometer bridge spans across the Congo River, incorporating a single railway track, two road lanes, and dedicated pedestrian walkways at each side.

Initial construction plans emerged in 1991 but were postponed in 1993 due to insufficient funding and political uncertainties in the Republic of the Congo.

The bridge connects the populations of Kinshasa and Brazzaville, which represent the two closest capital cities in the world, separated by the Congo River.

The infrastructure will accommodate over 5 million passengers and transport 3 million tons of freight annually, reducing travel time between the two capitals.

The structure features border control points at both ends and utilizes a 1067mm gauge railway track system compatible with both countries' existing rail networks.
