Dona Ana Bridge, Railway bridge in Mutarara District, Mozambique.

The Dona Ana Bridge extends 3670 meters across the Zambezi River, featuring 33 spans of 80 meters and 7 spans of 50 meters each.

Construction of the bridge completed in 1935 to connect the Moatize coal fields and Malawi with the port of Beira through a vital railway line.

The iron structure reflects Portuguese colonial engineering methods and remains part of Mozambique's Heritage of Portuguese Influence designation.

The bridge underwent extensive rehabilitation in 2006, converting it back to railway use after serving temporarily as a vehicle crossing point.

The structure stands as Africa's longest railway bridge across the Zambezi River, linking the towns of Vila de Sena and Mutarara.
