Tuti Bridge, Suspension bridge in Khartoum, Sudan
Tuti Bridge is a steel suspension bridge that crosses the Blue Nile in Khartoum, linking the mainland to Tuti Island. The structure uses steel cables and concrete support towers to carry vehicles safely over the water.
The bridge was completed in 2009, providing the first permanent crossing to Tuti Island and ending the reliance on ferry services. This marked a major shift in how people and vehicles could reach the island.
The bridge design incorporates local engineering expertise and regional materials, reflecting Sudan's advancement in infrastructure development during the early 21st century.
The bridge accommodates vehicles and allows direct travel between Khartoum and the island. Pedestrians and cyclists can use it as well, making it a key link for different types of transport.
The bridge sits where the Blue and White Nile rivers meet, at one of Khartoum's most challenging transport points. This river confluence makes the location both geographically and infrastructurally significant.
