Denton Bridge, Girder road bridge in Banjul, Gambia
The Denton Bridge spans 210 meters across the Tanbi Wetland Complex, connecting St. Mary's Island and mainland Gambia with four traffic lanes.
The bridge bears the name of Sir George Chardin Denton, who governed Gambia from 1900 to 1911 and contributed to regional development.
Local residents refer to the bridge area as Check Point Charlie due to the continuous presence of police and military personnel.
The bridge serves as the primary route to reach Banjul, with the only alternative being a ferry service from the town of Barra.
The structure passes over Oyster Creek at the point where the Tanbi Wetland Complex meets the Atlantic Ocean.
