The Kafue Railway Bridge was built to carry the Livingstone to Lusaka railway line in what is now Zambia over the Kafue River in 1906.
It is a steel girder truss bridge of 13 spans each of 33 metres (108 ft) supported on concrete piers.
With a length of 427 metres (1,401 ft) the Kafue Railway Bridge was the longest bridge on the Rhodesian Railways network.
[1] It includes nearly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of embankments raised about 7 metres (23 ft) where the line crosses the river's wider rainy season channel, and a lower embankment about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long where it crosses the river's the shallower floodplain to the south-west of the bridge.
[2] The town of Kafue is at the bridge's northern end and the Kafue Bridge on the T2 road is 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) downstream.
