Chinyingi Suspended Bridge | Zambezi | Zambia

Chinyingi Bridge is situated in Chinyingi village of Zambezi district, in the North - Western province of Zambia. In the 1970s, a Capuchin brother named Crispin Baleri constructed a simple suspension bridge over the Zambezi. Baleri was inspired by the tragic death of four locals, who drowned in the Zambezi while trying to ferry a sick person to the hospital for care. He solicited donations of material from local copper mines and employed local unskilled labor to construct the bridge, which despite Baleri’s lack of training or expertise, still spans the river as of 2005. The bridge Baleri constructed, together with a pontoon bridge later constructed underneath it to allow vehicles to cross, is one of only five crossings along the 2,574 kilometer length of the Zambezi. Of the five, the Chinyingi crossing is closest to the river’s source. Chinyingi’s elevation above sea level is 1,100 meters. Source: 1. http://kutachika.com/chiningi/ 2.
