Mudeirej Bridge

Mudeirej Bridge, Road bridge in Saoufar, Lebanon

Mudeirej Bridge is a concrete road bridge on the Beirut–Damascus highway, opened in 1998 at a cost of US$44 million. It is about 480 metres long, and at some points its deck rises 75 metres above the valley, making it Lebanon's highest bridge. It spans the mountainous route between Beirut, Chouf and Damascus.

The Mudeirej Bridge opened in 1998, built at a cost of about US$44 million as part of Rafik Hariri's programme to rebuild Lebanon's infrastructure and improve the Beirut–Damascus highway. On 12 July 2006, during the Lebanon–Israel conflict, Israeli air strikes destroyed two main supports spanning roughly 200 metres, dropping sections of the deck. USAID later funded reconstruction with US$30 million.

The bridge functions as a central element in the Mount Lebanon region's transportation network, connecting communities and facilitating trade between Beirut and Damascus.

When visiting this area, keep in mind the bridge sits at high elevation where weather can change quickly. It is wise to check road conditions in advance, especially during bad weather or the colder months.

The bridge was built at a cost of US$44 million and opened in 1998. In July 2006 Israeli air strikes destroyed two main supports spanning about 200 metres, dropping sections to the ground; the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) later funded reconstruction.
