Denton Bridge is a vital crossing connecting Banjul island to the mainland at Serekunda. Built in the 1980s, it spans a narrow channel of the Gambia River and carries heavy traffic daily. Pedestrians can walk across the bridge to enjoy sweeping views of the river, with fishing boats, ferries, and distant mangroves. The bridge is a popular spot for photography, especially at sunset when the light paints the water. It also marks the gateway to Banjul, making it a symbolic entry point to the capital.
