Samora Machel Bridge, Suspension bridge in Tete, Mozambique.

The Samora Machel Bridge is a prestressed suspension bridge over the Zambezi in Tete, Mozambique. It has a total length of 762 metres and a deck 11.2 metres wide, carried by four reinforced-concrete towers founded on caissons sunk up to 22 metres into the riverbed. The road deck links Tete to Moatize.

Construction began in 1968 and the bridge was inaugurated on 20 July 1972, designed by Portuguese bridge engineer Edgar Cardoso. It was first named Ponte Marcello Caetano and renamed after independence. It formed part of the Cahora Bassa dam works and a planned road axis between Cape Town and Kenya.

The bridge was first named Ponte Marcello Caetano under Portuguese rule and was renamed after independence for Samora Machel, Mozambique's first president. Its author was the Portuguese bridge engineer Edgar Cardoso, and it was built as part of the Cahora Bassa dam works, on a planned road axis between Cape Town and Kenya.

The bridge is a road crossing between Tete and Moatize, and since 2014 the Kassuende Bridge offers a second Zambezi crossing at Tete. Both are concessioned to Estradas do Zambeze for 20 years. Rehabilitation works finished in 2011, intended to keep the structure serviceable for the following 30 years.
