Tanzania just leveled up its infrastructure game! President Samia Suluhu Hassan inaugurated the Magufuli Bridge—Africa’s longest extra-dosed cable-stayed bridge—spanning Lake Victoria. Named after former President John Magufuli, this engineering marvel is set to transform travel and trade in East Africa. 🚗💨
⚡️ The bridge slashes cross-lake travel time from two hours to just five minutes, connecting communities and turbocharging regional commerce. Neighbors like Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC are poised to benefit from smoother trade routes, making it a win-win for economic growth. 🌍📈
Built with Chinese collaboration, the project underscores Tanzania’s push to modernize its infrastructure. President Hassan called it a "milestone" for national development, proving that big dreams (and smart engineering) can reshape a continent. 💡🏗️
