Kazungula Bridge

Kazungula Bridge is a road and rail bridge over the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Botswana at the town of Kazungula. The 923-metre-long by 18.5-metre-wide bridge has a longest span of 129 metres and links the town of Kazungula in Zambia with Botswana. The bridge features a single-line railway track between two traffic lanes and walkways for pedestrians.Before the bridge was opened for traffic in May 2021, direct traffic between the two countries was possible only by ferry. The bridge takes advantage of the short 135-metre border the two countries share at the river, and is curved to avoid the nearby borders of Zimbabwe and Namibia.
