Kazungula Bridge


Kazungula Bridge is a road and rail bridge under construction over the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Botswana at Kazungula.

In August 2007 the governments of Zambia and Botswana announced a deal to construct a bridge to replace the existing ferry.

Construction of the US$259.3 million project, which includes international border facilities in Zambia and Botswana officially began on 12 October 2014 and is due to be completed by 2018.

The 923-metre-long (3,028 ft) by 18.5-metre-wide (61 ft) bridge links the town of Kazungula in Zambia with Botswana and is curved to avoid the nearby borders of Zimbabwe and Namibia.
