“South Africa 🇿🇦 is set to boast the tallest bridge in Africa, the Mtentu Bridge, which will stand at an impressive 223 meters high. This engineering marvel is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by 2027. The bridge will span the Mtentu River in the Eastern Cape province and will be a key component of the N2 Wild Coast Road project, aimed at improving travel time and connectivity between the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. The Mtentu Bridge will not only be the tallest bridge in Africa but also one of the longest main-span balanced cantilever bridges in the world, with a main span of 260 meters . The bridge's design and construction have been praised for their ingenuity and complexity, given the challenging landscape of the Wild Coast. Once completed, the Mtentu Bridge will play a vital role in improving travel time, connecting previously divided communities, and boosting economic development and tourism in the region .(Ref. Dissing & Weitling)” - Chris Smit, 2025/03/03
