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.

The Japanese are FAR better than the Chinese. Wonder why they didn't come to Nigeria before the Chinese for railway contracts.

Ugandans are such a nice people. I remember how they treated me nicely not long ago on finding out I was a Nigerian by birth.

I love those guys.

Meanwhile the long overdue stalled 2nd Nigeria bridge is the subject for APC's propaganda.

I hope the day Niger bridge collapses, Buhari and his cohorts will be on it since they have decided to joke with the lives of Nigerians

Keep quiet. Your stupid PDP deceived everybody for 16 years. Budgeting and awarding the contract year in year out without adding one nail on it. And now you are shameless to criticize a government that is now building the project within a short time.

Overpriced.
Using their own contractors.
All kinds of consulting fees.
So your loan amount is already a profit out the door
And you thought you had a good deal

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.

The ferry people wont like this then

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.

Uganda's 3rd mainland bridge.

Meanwhile anyone who has Fowlshola's phone number should tell the a*se-wipe to focus on providing prepaid meters for Nigerians which is meant to be his job rather than asking us to vote for APC.

What do you mean by ordinary? Uganda got their sovereignty 9th October, 1962. Educational system is better organized without strike and related interruption as in Nigeria. The country is not rich but the people are happy with themselves. Crime is less as movements in the town last's for 24hrs.

Not surprised at all, just found out Nigeria doesn't even have one

With all our corruption, somebody will use fake material for the suspension cable of the bridge. The thing will now cut and bridge will fall and kill people. Abeg leave it like that. Let us not have.

Not really, they were government employee, its a very big ferry and can take up to 25 vehicles along with passengers. Government provided it in place of the bridge. It use to take about 45mins to cross lake victoria, but the bridge now seem to cross a shorter portion of the lake.
