River Niger Bridge, Truss bridge in Asaba, Nigeria.
The River Niger Bridge spans 1404 meters across the Niger River with a three-lane central carriageway and pedestrian walkways on both sides.
Netherlands Engineering Consultants conducted feasibility studies in the 1950s, leading to construction by French company Dumez between 1964 and 1965 for 6.75 million pounds.
The bridge forms an essential connection between western and southeastern Nigerian regions, linking the commercial center of Onitsha with the administrative capital of Asaba.
The structure serves as a segment of the Trans-African Highway network, connecting Lagos in Nigeria to Mombasa in Kenya through multiple African countries.
During seasonal changes, the Niger River water levels fluctuate by 10 meters, creating specific engineering requirements for the bridge foundation design.
