Kigamboni Bridge is a bridge currently under construction in Tanzania.[1][2] It will connect the Dar es Salaam central business district to the Kigamboni ward across the Kurasini creek. Construction work began in February 2012 and is expected to complete in 36 months. At present, the Kivukoni ferry links the two places.
