Omdurman Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Omdurman, Sudan.

Omdurman Bridge is a steel truss bridge on the road from Khartoum to Omdurman, crossing the White Nile. It is 613 metres long and rests on seven pairs of round pillars. It is also called the Redemption Bridge or the Old White Nile Bridge.

Engineers from Dorman Long in Teesside, England designed and built the bridge between 1924 and 1926 to connect Khartoum and Omdurman. It became the first steel truss structure of its kind in the region at that time.

The bridge links two major cities and forms part of daily life for residents crossing between them for work or commerce. It serves as a visible symbol of connection between the two sides of the Nile in urban Sudanese life.

The bridge carries one-way road traffic, with separate lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. It is 613 metres long and rests on seven pairs of round pillars, so the crossing is exposed to sun and wind; allow extra time at peak hours.

The bridge's builder, Dorman Long of Teesside, England, completed the 613-metre crossing in 1926. Seven pairs of round pillars carry the steel truss, a detail visible from the riverbank below.
