The Blue Nile Road and Railway Bridge is a bascule bridge in Sudan, which links the capital Khartoum to the industrial city Khartoum North across the Blue Nile.
Built between 1907 and 1909 by Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company from a design by engineer Georges Imbault, it is one of the oldest bridges in Khartoum and Sudan.
