Japoma Bridge, Railway bridge in Edéa, Cameroon.

The iron bridge stretches 160 meters across the Sanaga River, forming a crucial section of the Douala-Yaoundé-Ngaoundéré railway line.

German engineers completed the construction of this railway bridge in 1911, during the period when Cameroon was under colonial administration.

The structure represents a national monument of Cameroon, reflecting the early industrial development and transportation evolution in the Littoral region.

The bridge maintains regular rail service connecting major economic centers, supporting the transportation of agricultural products and industrial materials.

Located near the Edea Hydroelectric Power Station, this bridge serves as a gateway for aluminum manufacturing and bauxite processing facilities.
