The Betsiboka Bridge is a truss bridge over the Betsiboka River, in the district of Maevatanana, which is a part of Betsiboka Region, Madagascar.[1] It is one of the longest bridge on the island, appr. 350 meters long.[1]

History

The first bridge was one of the three suspension bridges erected in Madagascar by the French company G. Leinekugel Le Cocq & Fils between 1931 and 1934.[2][3]

It was destroyed in World War II and, thereafter, replaced by the present truss bridge which was refurbished in 1980 and rehabilitated in 2015.[4][5]
