Nyagashanga Suspension Bridge

Nyagashanga Suspension Bridge

Almost a quarter of a billion people around the world can't safely access critical resources like healthcare, education, or employment due to an impassable river. For 2,300 of them living in rural southern Rwanda, a brand-new footbridge is already changing lives and creating opportunities.

Earlier this month, volunteers from NSBA, four state DOTs, High Steel, Nucor, HDR, Modjeski & Masters, and Rosewich Engineering constructed an 85-meter footbridge near Muhanga, Rwanda on behalf of Bridges to Prosperity (B2P). See the new Nyagashanga Suspension Bridge next to the old river crossing with our puzzle of the week.
