Omdurman Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Omdurman, Sudan.
The Omdurman Bridge extends 613 meters across the White Nile, featuring seven pairs of round pillars that support its metal framework structure.
Dorman Long, an engineering company from Teesside, England, constructed the bridge between 1924 and 1926 to connect Khartoum with Omdurman.
The bridge, known in Arabic as جسر أم درمان, stands as a testament to early 20th-century infrastructure development in Sudan.
The structure accommodates one-way vehicular traffic while providing separate pathways for bicycles and pedestrians crossing between the two cities.
The bridge incorporates specialized engineering techniques from the 1920s, demonstrating the first implementation of steel truss design in this region of Africa.
