Marracuene Bridge is an additional work of Projecto da Circular de Maputo which is 310m long, located in Marracuene, about 30km north of Maputo, Mozambique, crossing Incomati River. The upper structure of the bridge is 30m prestressed concrete fabricated T-beam with simply-supported and continued structure system; the piers and foundations are column piers and pile foundation, respectively; the abutment adopts U-type abutment and pile foundation.

In the construction process of the bridge, all the construction participants of the project overcame the adverse conditions, such as high temperature in Africa and difficult raw material turnover, actively made plans and forged ahead in unity, ensuring the successful completion of the Marracuene Bridge project.

The completion of Marracuene Bridge effectively promotes the material, culture and information exchanges between Marracuene City and Makaneta Island, drives the tourism industry of Makaneta Island and also lays a solid foundation for CRBC to further develop the market of Mozambique.
