Denton Bridge, Girder road bridge in Banjul, Gambia

Denton Bridge is a girder road bridge carrying the Banjul-Serekunda Highway from the mainland eastward to St. Mary's Island, where Banjul sits. It crosses Oyster Creek, the channel linking the Tanbi Wetland Complex mangroves to the Atlantic. The deck is 20 metres wide with two lanes in each direction and a 210-metre span. It opened in 1986, on the 21st anniversary of independence.

The current bridge opened in 1986, on the 21st anniversary of Gambian independence. It replaced an earlier bridge built in 1915 and renovated in 1959, which stood 25 metres to the north and has since been demolished. The structure is named after Sir George Chardin Denton, governor of British Gambia from 1900 to 1911.

Local residents refer to the bridge area as Check Point Charlie due to the continuous presence of police and military personnel.

Denton Bridge carries the Banjul-Serekunda Highway and is the only road link between the mainland and Banjul; the alternative is the ferry from Barra. The deck is about 20 metres wide with two lanes in each direction. Police checks are frequent at the bridge, so allow extra time.

The bridge crosses Oyster Creek, the channel linking the Tanbi Wetland Complex mangroves to the Atlantic Ocean. In 2008 a Gambian living in Germany fitted the span with cat's-eye road reflectors. Police checks are frequent here, which earned the crossing the nickname Check Point Charlie.
