In addition, Empresa de Desenvolvimento de Maputo Sul (EDMS) has unveiled its plan for the new Maputo/Catembe suspension bridge. The 680m bridge will link the south and north shores of Bay channel, with work due to start in 2015. The bridge will feature two 137m towers as well as two anchor blocks. One of the towers will be constructed over the Maputo bay waters. The other is likely to be built in the port of Maputo. The project will not exceed its original budget of $725 million, according to EDMS. China Road and Bridge is in charge of the Maputo Ring Road project as well as for the Maputo/Catembe bridge.
