A new bridge constructed by Mabey Bridge is playing a critical role in helping South Sudan emerge from its war-torn past, while increasing trade with neighbouring Kenya and Uganda.

The Juba Bridge is the only crossing over the White Nile River in the entire country and represents a crucial transportation link. The new bridge comprises two 3.15m single lane, six-span bridges installed side by side, over a total length of 252 metres. External footwalks have been fitted to protect pedestrians.

South Sudan’s relatively short life has been marked by a great deal of internal military conflict and this has taken its toll on infrastructure, including the Juba Bridge which has an almost iconic status in the region. The deck upgrade should significantly extend the life-expectancy of the bridge and serve the people of South Sudan for many years to come.
