Location in Mozambique

Kassuende Bridge is a bridge in Mozambique across the Zambezi River.[1] It is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) downstream from the Samora Machel Bridge. People traveling between Malawi and Zimbabwe do not need to pass through Tete and this helps in reducing the traffic on the current bridge.
