It's very good long bridge and thrilled to drive ... Only problem is that during morning and evening hours very long traffic.. Avoid during these hours

although the building is only some 15 years it seems to be in desperate need of repair. Also why did they not construct a 2 lane bridge in both directions. always congested.

I parked on the western side and walked up the sidewalk, which is in a reasonably good condition, to the middle of the bridge - its highest point (don't mind the "No Pedestrians" sign at the entry, nobody cares about signs in Suriname). Great view from the bridge on both sides.

Impressive bridge. It's quite tall, big cargo ships can pass under it.

Well, it's a bridge. What else can I say? I would give it 5 stars but it's just two lanes so traffic backs up.

THE bridge :) Had the chance to photograph it empty during code black Covid times.
