Japoma Bridge, Railway bridge in Edéa, Cameroon.
The Japoma Bridge is a railway bridge in Edéa that spans the Sanaga River as part of the Douala-Yaoundé-Ngaoundéré rail line. It carries trains connecting major cities and industrial centers across the country.
German engineers finished construction in 1911 during the colonial period. The bridge became part of the railway system developed to connect inland regions with coastal ports.
The structure represents a national monument of Cameroon, reflecting the early industrial development and transportation evolution in the Littoral region.
The bridge is active with regular train traffic, so visiting should be done with attention to rail schedules and safety. The structure offers good views from the riverbank and nearby areas where you can see how it spans the water.
The bridge sits near the Edea Hydroelectric Power Station, which supplies electricity to industrial operations in the region. This combination of rail and power infrastructure makes the site a key junction for commerce and energy.
