Denton Bridge is a key infrastructure landmark in Banjul, spanning the Gambia River to connect the island capital with the mainland. Built in the 1980s, it replaced ferry services and is a vital transport link. Visitors can walk or drive across to enjoy panoramic river views and watch local fishing boats. The bridge is especially photogenic at sunset, with the river reflecting golden light. It's a practical crossing but also a spot to appreciate Banjul's geography and daily life.
