Dona Ana Railway Bridge

Mutarara is a city in Central_Mozambique.

Most notable for being at the Northern end of the Dona Ana Bridge. The bridge is the longest railway bridge in Africa and until 2009 is the lowest fixed crossing point on the river (the new road bridge at Caia will be the lowest). The bridge was used until recently as a single lane road bridge, but has now been converted back to a rail bridge. It is still possible to cross on foot.

[edit] Get in

Walking from Vila de Sena at the southern end of the bridge is possible. Vila de Sena can be reached by dirt road from Caia or Tete.

By car, Mutarara can be reached via Morrumbala. This requires a crossing on a hand cranked ferry. The ferry operates during normal working hours only and not between 1200-1400. It may not operate in adverse weather/river flow.
