The 5th longest suspension bridge in Africa – has recently been unveiled in Uganda. President Yoweri Museveni commissioned the new bridge on Wednesday.

The bridge named the “New Nile Bridge” spans 525m. It is located in the town of Jinja and stretches across the source of the River Nile.

The bridge is the second of its kind in East Africa after Tanzania’s Kigamboni Bridge which spans 680m. It is also the fifth longest cable-stayed bridge in Africa.

The bridge, which cost $112million, was funded by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The government of Japan financed 80% as a loan of US$100 million at an annual interest rate of 0.01%, repayable in 10 years but extendable to 40 years.

According to the Uganda President, the bridge was designed to last for 120 years.

The beautifully engineered and magnificent structure is set to replace the old Nalubaale Bridge, which was constructed by the British in 1954.

Good development, driving to Kalangala was very difficult, it has to be by ferry, once you miss it you would have to wait for over 2 hours before you can cross, if you miss the last trip of the day, then you have to wait till the next day.

There is no Suspension Bridge in Nigeria so get your facts right, the Lekki IKOYI link bridge is not a suspension bridge but a cable stay bridge and they are two different things and the suspension bridge is more complex and difficult to build

Nice one

Until Nigerians become patriotic then Nigeria will begin to develop. Most Nigerian politicians aren't only greedy and corrupt but also not patriotic
