Shambat Bridge, Road bridge in Khartoum North, Sudan
The Shambat Bridge spans 1,057 meters across the Nile River, connecting the urban areas of Khartoum North and Omdurman with prestressed concrete construction.
Italian construction company Recchi built this infrastructure between 1963 and 1966, marking the first prestressed concrete bridge constructed abroad by an Italian firm.
The bridge served as a central meeting point for local residents, facilitating daily interactions between communities on both sides of the Nile River.
Before its destruction in November 2023, thousands of vehicles crossed this bridge daily, providing essential transportation links between Khartoum North and Omdurman.
The bridge stood at the geographical coordinates of 15.644253 latitude and 32.506061 longitude, near the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers.
