 The 680m-long cable-stayed bridge is opening in Tanzania's commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, yesterday.

The Tanzanian President John Magufuli has officially opened the bridge by cutting the ceremonial ribbon:

Hundreds of people turned up to try the bridge out:

Our source say that the President has suggested a name:  ''Pres Magufuli proposes that the newly built largest suspension#bridge in East Africa be named 'Nyerere bridge' #Tanzania''

The bridge opens yesterday which connects Tanzania's central business district to Kigamboni, where there had been plans to develop a satellite city.

The cable-stayed bridge has a similar appearance to a suspension bridge.

It's 680m long, and cost more than $140m (£98m).

And it enters the world of superlatives.

The Tanzanian state newspaper the Daily News says it is the longest cable-stayed bridge in East Africa. 

The authorities hope it will end a traffic bottle neck around the car ferry.And our sources believes it is Tanzania's first toll bridge.
