Description | The Msikaba Bridge is part of the South African National Road Agency (Sanral) N2 Wild Coast Road project.

It will be the third-tallest bridge in Africa, standing 195 metres tall with 128-metre-high pylons and stretching over 580 metres. The project has faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, steel industry issues, and other challenges, with no new completion date set yet. |
