The Mombasa Suspension Bridge is one of few bridges connecting New Mombasa to the Mainland, through Old Mombasa. The bridge has 44 main cables, which all go down to the center of the bridge. There is a toll booth at each end of the bridge, possibly hinting that it cost money to cross the bridge, and you had to pay twice either way. In [[Halo 2]], [[SPARTAN-117]] crossed the bridge in a [[Scorpion Tank]] during the [[First Battle of Earth]], to get to New Mombasa and to the Assault Carrier. On a scaled map (google Earth), the Mombasa suspension bridge is actually 1.09 Km long, making it almost the length of a [[Halcyon-class Cruiser]]. | The Mombasa Suspension Bridge is one of few bridges connecting New Mombasa to the Mainland, through Old Mombasa.
