EG LNG Pipeline Suspension Bridge, Pipeline suspension bridge in Punta Europa, Equatorial Guinea
The EG LNG Pipeline Suspension Bridge is a 350-meter span that carries a gas pipeline across a geologically unstable slope. The structure measures approximately 9.5 meters wide and was engineered specifically to transport liquefied natural gas.
Completed in 2006, this bridge was the first of its kind designed specifically to carry liquefied natural gas through pipeline systems. It represented a major milestone in industrial infrastructure for the region.
The bridge represents the advancement of Equatorial Guinea's industrial development, particularly in the energy sector near the capital city of Malabo.
Access to this bridge is restricted since it is critical energy infrastructure located on private industrial property. Visitors should obtain permissions in advance by contacting the facility operators.
The bridge rises approximately 60 meters above sea level and employs specialized engineering solutions to maintain stability. This unusual height allows heavy pipelines to span the steep terrain without relying on additional support pillars.
