Mozambique Island Bridge is a bridge in Mozambique that connects the Island of Mozambique, the former capital of colonial Portuguese East Africa to the mainland over the Indian Ocean.[1]
History
In 1962, the government of Mozambique launched a tender for the construction of a 3,390 meter bridge to connect the Island of Mozambique to the mainland.[2]
In July 2004, a construction to rehabilitate the bridge started with a $9-million budget.[3]
A lighting system was installed on the bridge in 2013.[4]
Description
The western end of the bridge is on the mainland in Lumbo.[5]
