The Bloukrans Bridge is famous for being the site of the world’s highest commercial bridge bungy jump, operating since 1997.
Construction started on the Bloukrans Bridge in February 1980, running through to its completion in June 1983. This bridge, along with its smaller siblings, the Groot and Bobbejaans River Bridges, as well as the Storms River and Van Stadens River Bridges, cut considerable time off the journey between Plettenberg Bay and Port Elizabeth, by eliminating the need to travel down the winding pass roads through these gorges.
Constructed by Murray and Roberts and Concor, the bridge stands at a height of 216m above the Bloukrans River, making it the ***highest bridge in Africa***. Its central span is 272m and the bridge is 451m in length in total. The river forms the border between the Western and Eastern Cape.
