The Nyali Bridge (specifically the New Nyali Bridge) is a concrete girder bridge[1] connecting the city of Mombasa on Mombasa Island to the mainland of Kenya. The bridge crosses Tudor Creek (a tidal inlet) to the north-east of the island. The bridge is one of two road links out of Mombasa (the other being the Makupa Causeway). The Likoni Ferry provides a third transport link to the island, and is situated at the southern tip. The mainland approach to the bridge serves as a police checkpoint in both directions.
The Old Nyali Bridge (a floating bridge) stood approximately half a mile downstream from the current crossing[2].
