Mozambique’s 86-year-old Dona Ana bridge – which spans the Zambezi River between the village of Nhamayabwe in Tete and Caia in Sofala province – is set for an upgrade that will cost around US$135 000.
Work, funded mainly by Mozambique’s national railway company (CFM), started last week and is expected to be completed by September/October.
The historic bridge was built on the section of the Sena railway line connecting Beira to the village of Moatize, and is approximately 3 700 metres long.
