The Shambat Bridge was a bridge in Sudan which crossed the Nile connecting Omdurman to Khartoum North.




History



The bridge was built from 1963 to 1966 by the Italian company Recchi. It was the first prestressed concrete bridge built abroad by an Italian company.
On 11 November 2023, the bridge was destroyed amid intense fighting in the Battle of Khartoum. The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces blamed each other for its destruction.
