Mac Nimir Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Khartoum, Sudan.

Mac Nimir Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing that spans the Blue Nile and links downtown Khartoum with Khartoum North. The structure uses steel pylons and concrete decking to support regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the wide river.

The bridge opened in 2007, linking downtown Khartoum with Khartoum North across the Blue Nile. It is named after Mek Nimr, a leader of the Ja'alin tribe of northern Sudan, whose forces killed Ismail, son of Muhammad Ali Pasha, and his cortege in 1822 when they invaded Sudan from Egypt.

The bridge takes its name from Mek Nimr, a leader of the Ja'alin tribe from northern Sudan, reflecting local heritage in the structure's identity. This connection to regional history shapes how residents view and speak about the crossing today.

The bridge is open around the clock and serves as a main commute route between city districts. Pedestrians should expect heavy traffic conditions, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when crossings can be crowded.

The bridge is 523 metres long and 22 metres wide, figures given in Arabic-language sources. It passes beside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Republican Palace on the Khartoum side, and reaches the public transport station on the Khartoum North side.
