  Benga Bridge Location in Mozambique | |
Benga Bridge (now named Kassuende Bridge) is a bridge in Mozambique across the Zambezi River.[1] It will be about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) downstream from the Samora Machel Bridge. People travelling between Malawi and Zimbabwe will not need to pass through Tete and this will help in reducing the traffic on the current bridge.
