Victoria Falls Bridge
Erscheinungsbild

The Victoria Falls Bridge crosses over the Zambezi River just below the Victoria Falls, linking Zimbabwe to Zambia. It was designed by Sir Ralph Freeman, the same engineer who designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, took just 14 months to build and was completed in 1905. The bridge was the brainchild of Cecil Rhodes, who wanted the "spray of the falls over the train carriages", even though he never visited the falls and died before construction of the Bridge began.
Constructed from steel, the arch spans 156.50 metres, with a height of 128 metres above the valley floor. Like Sydney, the Bridge carries cars, trains and foot traffic. Today it is the location for a 111 metre bungee jump.
