Victoria Falls Bridge Victoria Falls Bridge The Victoria Falls Bridge crosses the Zambezi River just below the Victoria Falls and is built over the Second Gorge of the falls. As the river is the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the bridge links the two countries and has border posts on the approaches to both ends, at the towns of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Livingstone, Zambia. The bridge was the brainchild of Cecil Rhodes, part of his grand and unfulfilled Cape to Cairo railway scheme, even though he never visited the falls and died before construction of the bridge began. Rhodes is recorded as
P12 road (Zimbabwe) Highway which runs from Lusaka to Chirundu. Here it is called the Siavonga Road. On the Zimbabwean side its begins from a junction with R3/A1 Highway which runs from Harare to Chirundu at Makuti. For those not worried about crossing borders the M15 Highway is the shortest route from Chirundu, Zimbabwe to Kariba via Chirundu, Zambia and Siabonga. It is only 72 km, which is the Chirundu, Zimbabwe to Kariba via Makuti's 144 km. From the Chirundu Border Post to the M15 Highway junction with Zambia's T2 Highway is 19 km, then 53 km to Kariba.
