Mbutu Bridge, Road bridge in Igunga, Tanzania

The Mbutu Bridge stretches 42 meters across the waterway with two equal spans of 21 meters each, connecting local communities in the Tabora Region.

The construction of Mbutu Bridge, completed in 2013, marked a milestone as it brought together eleven local contractors in a joint venture worth 11 billion Tanzanian shillings.

The bridge opening ceremony in January 2013 gathered residents from surrounding villages to celebrate this infrastructure development with President Kikwete leading the festivities.

Three kilometers of approach roads complement the bridge structure, enabling vehicles and pedestrians to traverse between Mbutu and Igunga districts throughout the year.

The bridge project exemplifies Tanzania's commitment to local engineering capabilities, as it was constructed entirely by domestic companies from Dar es Salaam and Mwanza.
