Athi River Super Bridge, Railway bridge in Athi River, Kenya
The Athi River Super Bridge is a railway bridge near Athi River that crosses a wide valley with three separate sections spanning the winding river below. The structure uses prestressed concrete box girders and rises significantly above the surrounding terrain.
Construction of this railway bridge started in 2015 and finished in 2016 as part of a new rail corridor connecting major cities. The structure became one of the longest bridges of its kind in the region.
The bridge design strategically bypasses the town of Athi River, preserving residential communities and industrial zones while maintaining transportation efficiency in the region.
The bridge maintains sufficient clearance to allow large vessels to pass underneath on the river. Visitors can view the structure from various vantage points nearby without accessing the active rail lines.
The structure ranks among the longest of its kind on the African continent and connects two coastal cities through a single rail project. The bridge crosses through one of the less developed regions of the country, offering travelers a view of undeveloped terrain.
