New Jinja Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Njeru, Uganda
The New Jinja Bridge extends 525 meters across the Victoria Nile River, connecting the towns of Jinja and Njeru through steel construction and modern engineering.
The bridge opened in October 2018 as a replacement for the 1954 Nalubaale Bridge, following a construction period that began in January 2014.
The bridge construction involved cooperation between Uganda and international partners, with Japanese and South Korean companies leading the engineering work.
The structure carries vehicles on the Northern Corridor highway, linking the Indian Ocean at Mombasa to the Atlantic Ocean at Matadi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The bridge incorporates a single-plane cable-stayed design with a 285-meter main span, making it the longest bridge in Uganda with a projected lifespan of 120 years.
