Mozambique Island Bridge

The Mozambique Island Bridge stretches 3,400 meters across the Indian Ocean, connecting the mainland to the former colonial capital of Portuguese East Africa.

Constructed in 1967, this infrastructure project marked a major development in connecting the historic Mozambique Island with the mainland region of Lumbo.

The bridge functions as a physical connection between different communities, enabling regular exchanges between island residents and mainland populations throughout Mozambique.

The single-lane concrete structure supports daily traffic flow for residents, merchants, and visitors traveling between Mozambique Island and the mainland territory.

The western section of the bridge features an integrated lighting system installed in 2013, illuminating the passage across the Indian Ocean during nighttime hours.
