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 12th October 2014 and is due to be completed by 2018.
The 923-metre (3,028 ft) long by 18.5 m (61 ft) wide bridge links the town of Kazungula in Zambia with Botswana and is curved to avoid the nearby borders of Zimbabwe and Namibia.
