Imbaba Bridge
The Imbaba Bridge is a railway bridge located in Cairo, Egypt across the Nile River, about 935 kilometres (581 mi) downstream from the Aswan Dam. It is the only railway bridge across the Nile in Cairo. The current version was built between 1912 and 1924 by the Belgian firm Baume-Marpent.
The first iteration was constructed in 1891 to let trains cross the Nile west to the Giza Train Station.
