The Portuguese built a railway bridge in the 30’s which has been converted to a road bridge since the collapse of the railway. It is a real feature of Mutarara, thought to be 5km long (actually 3.00km as I surveyed it with the GPS). It is being repaired presently so you only get to travel on it for a few limited hours of the day. This was quite a headache as people and trucks would get held up for hours. If you miss your slot, it will be a couple of hours till the next slot.
Video Clip, small, easy down load (2.9MB)
Video Clip, longer (9.1MB)
Towards the end of the deployment, I GPS surveyed the bridge, turns out it is only 3 km long but that is still pretty amazing.
