Sioma Bridge A Modern Marvel in Western Zambia đ
Did you know that the Sioma Bridge, located in Zambiaâs Western Province, is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the region?
Spanning the mighty Zambezi River, this 252-meter-long bridge connects the towns of Sioma and Senanga along the M10 highway. Before its construction, travelers relied on a ferry to cross the riverâoften facing delays and limitations. Today, the bridge provides a seamless link for vehicles and pedestrians, boosting trade, tourism, and everyday travel.
Constructed by China Henan International Corporation and officially opened in 2016, the bridge forms part of Zambiaâs Western Corridor, a route critical to regional trade with Namibia, Angola, and the DRC.
Beyond its economic value, the bridge offers breathtaking views of the Zambezi River and lies just downstream from the stunning Ngonye Falls (Sioma Falls)âa lesser-known but beautiful natural wonder.
