Kigamboni Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The Kigamboni Bridge extends 680 meters across the Kurasini estuary, connecting the Kurasini ward to the Vijibweni ward with six traffic lanes.
Construction of the bridge began in February 2012 and reached completion in April 2016, replacing the Kivukoni ferry as the primary crossing method.
The National Social Security Fund of Tanzania invested 136 million dollars in the bridge construction, demonstrating the country's infrastructure development priorities.
The bridge includes three lanes in each direction for vehicles, plus separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, operating continuously throughout the day.
An elevated interchange connects the bridge to Nelson Mandela expressway, with approach roads extending 2.5 kilometers on both sides of the structure.
