The Nyali Bridge is a concrete girder bridge[1] connecting the city of Mombasa on Mombasa Island to the mainland of Kenya and located on B8 road. The bridge crosses Tudor Creek (a tidal inlet) to the north-east of the island. The bridge is one of three road links out of Mombasa (the others being the Kipevu and Makupa Causeways). The Likoni Ferry provides a third transport link to the island, and is situated at the southern tip. The mainland approach to the bridge serves as a police checkpoint in both directions.
