Hinode Bridge

Hinode Bridge spans the Comoro River with six arches and provides two traffic lanes plus pedestrian walkways on both sides. The structure connects important parts of the city and accommodates both vehicle and foot traffic.

Construction of this bridge began in August 2016 with funding from Japanese international development cooperation. The project represented a significant infrastructure effort to improve the city's connections.

The name Hinode comes from Japanese and means rising sun, which connects to Loro Sa'e, the local name for East Timor that carries the same meaning. This connection reflects how the community perceives the bridge's significance.

This bridge is open for vehicles and pedestrians and forms part of the regular traffic routes through the city. Visitors can walk across it to take in both the structure and views of the river.

The bridge was built with support from Japan and carries a name that expresses a cultural connection to East Timor. This partnership between the two countries is reflected in how the project shaped local infrastructure.
